Description
Solution
The context in which organisations operate is a dynamic one that incorporates forces at both micro and macro levels. Studying such environments calls for the application of suitable tools and techniques. This section appraises one analysis tool and one method applied in Technivara people practise when identifying organisational dilemmas, problems and prospects.
Analysis Tool: PESTLE Analysis
PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) is a strategic tool used in Technivara to analyse external macro-environmental factors affecting an organisation. It helps identify trends, risks, and opportunities that may influence decision-making processes in people practice (CIPD, 2023).
Evaluation
PESTLE analysis used widely to diagnose the external environment where the organisation operates because of offering all concerning external factors affecting the organisation. For instance, Technivara technological change may bring chances of developing new human resource solutions, whereas a change that is legal may pose a threat to compliance. In Technivara people practise, this tool helps with mapping the HR strategies on the external factors like on readiness of the workforce for digital change. However, it actuality depends on the quality of the data collected, since poor data would result in wrong decisions.
Strengths
- Provides a broad understanding of external influences.
- Encourages strategic thinking by highlighting emerging trends.
Weaknesses
- Time-consuming and requires constant updates to remain relevant.
- Subjectivity may arise in identifying the significance of each factor.
Analysis Method: Exit Interviews
Exit interviews involve interviewing employees before they leave their organisations of work with a view of getting information about their tenure, assessing organisational problems such as high turnover and low employee morale(McGrath 2019).
New participants’ exit interview is very useful in Technivara for identifying organisational challenges and opportunities in people practise. For example, poor management or lack of growth opportunities are some of the feedback information that is consistent and can thus be said to require intervention. Also, Technivara knowledge of the factors leading to employee turnover derives ways of minimising similar issues with the existing staff. However, their effectiveness in Technivara is only determined by the organisation’s capacity to provide a conducive environment for departing employees to give accurate feedback.
Strengths
- Provides first-hand insights from employees, making data highly relevant.
- Helps identify trends or recurring issues over time.
Weaknesses
- Risk of biased or incomplete responses due to employees’ hesitance to share negative feedback.
- Limited applicability as it reflects only the perspective of those leaving.

- In summary, this assignment has focused on evaluating the source of power and risk of an organisation contractual terms. This has been conducted through the focus of SSMC organisation which is currently being engaged in procurement of first aid materials.
- Through a series of analysis, the power and risk distribution has been evidenced as varying in different phenomenon to SSMC and their engaged suppliers. The rationale of this is that for the success of a contract, the legal provisions are critical among the involved parties with clearly set requirements to be adhered to or abstained.
- By using different tools including supplier preferencing matrix, Porter’s 5 forces and Turn-key model have been adopted for this research.
- It has been established that in most instances, SSMC has the power with majority of the risks being held by the supplier. An evaluation of the different components of the contract has been conducted with the clauses of interest including costs, quality level, time for delivery and ethics which influence the power and risk of the suppliers.
- From the analysis of stakeholders by use of the Mendelow stakeholder’s matrix and SWOT analysis, the various issues and risks represent the noted issues in procurement of the fast aid and safety measures in today COVID-19 pandemic.
- As evidenced in the Kraljic analysis, various contract terms are of strategic relevance to SSMC which affirm on its approach of holistically leveraging on contractual risk and power.
- Where the SSMC lacks a holistic balance on the risks and power, a warrant or insurance is granted for guaranteeing their safety.
