Our Point of Difference - THE ULTIMATE SWP TOOL
Advanced Workforce Strategies’ point of difference is the Skills Segmentation Questionnaire (SSQ) and associated plotting tool for role analysis. Based on the work of Lepak & Snell (1999, 2002), this unique tool, enables roles to be analysed and mapped according to their value creation and enablement - not based on hierarchy!
Our Role Analysis Report identifies ‘Critical’, ‘Make’, ‘Buy’ and ‘Specialists’ roles. Amongst other things, this analysis underpins workforce configuration and effective Talent Management, Succession Planning and Strategic Workforce Planning.
