HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
Introduction
The aim of this report is to discuss the process on which the development of
TeachInspire will be enhanced on the basis of the Project Dawn based on the merger of two
major global non-profit based organizations named, Educate and Global Teach Foundation.
The major focus of the organization that has been formed as a result of the merger is based on
the funding, research and expertise consultation based activities that are performed in the
field of Education (AlKerdawy, 2016). The organization also offers services like, the
development of effective teaching practices and proper management of the educational
standards and the examinations that are performed in the UK and in different international
locations as well (Albrecht et al., 2015). The organization has employed the more than 9000
employees in different parts of the world. The huge network of the volunteers and the global
partners are able to play a major role in the ways by which different types of activities are
performed in order to provide education based facilities to the consumers (Al-Emadi,
Schwabenland & Wei, 2015). The merger has been able to play a major role in the
development of the operations of TeachInspire in the industry. The boards of the
organizations have the target of achieving enhanced levels of opportunities in order to
provide the targeted services to the consumers (Banfield, Kay & Royles, 2018).
As discussed by Bratton & Gold (2017), the efficiency levels have been increased
based on the resources and funding that have been developed by the organization.
TeachInspire has currently developed a strategic change based programme that is focussed on
the ways by which business transformation can be achieved. The change programme has been
named as Project Dawn. Different issues that have been targeted by the organization with the
help of the strategic change programme mainly include different aspects like, customers,
processes, communications and people (Brewster, Chung & Sparrow, 2016). The Project has

been led by the Global Tech Foundation Chief Executive Ian Perry who has played the role of
an interim CEO for the organization named TeachInspire until the development of
organizational structure has been implemented. The levels of combined income of the
organization has increased in a huge manner due to the ways by which the resources of both
the companies have been used in an effective manner (Brewster et al., 2016).
Educate is a non-profit based organization that had started its operations in the
industry around 150 years ago. The organization supports in providing designs and delivers
assessments to more than eight million learners in different parts of the world. The research
based capability that has been developed by the organization is considered to be a major
aspect related to effective organizations operations. The research capability of Educate has
been developed in Asia and Europe (Ceric et al., 2016).
Global Tech Foundation or GTF is another major non-profit based organization that
had been established in the year 2004 by Ian Perry. The major activities that have been
performed by the company mainly include, promoting the levels of literacy, effective
teaching and learning. GTF mainly operates with the help of many collaborations with
various non-profits, business organizations and learners. The organization thereby aims at
proper improvement of the innovation in the operations, sharing the workable solutions and
the development of good practices as well (Chowhan, Pries & Mann, 2017).
The report will be based on the analysis of the Project named “Project Dawn” that is
based on the implementation of strategic change in the organization. The analysis will be
related to the ways by which the project can be developed in a successful manner. The
recommendations and implementation plan will be provided to the organization based on the
proper development of strategic changes.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
Analysis of the organizational skills and capabilities area
Wider HR, business and commercial issues, opportunities and risks
TeachInspire has been formed as a result of a merger that has taken place between two major
organizations namely Educate and Global Tech Foundation. The human resource managers of
the organization have thereby started facing major levels of issues based on the ways by
which the employees of the organization can be managed so that they can provide the best
levels of HR services. The areas of HR, business and commercial issues are ass followed:
 Increasing economic pressure as the ways of income and investments are getting
reduced.
 Increasing competition in the worldwide framework for funding
 Need for competitiveness and skills in accessing new sources for business case
development.
 Competitiveness in accessing types of funding through different types of government
priorities in the education strategy.
 The legal and regulatory demands create challenges like increasing practices and
standards around the industry of education
 The technological advances create problems for enabling growth in education.
 The organisation is or being able to cope up with the digitalization process that is
affecting the expertise and growth of skills in the organization.
 Challenges relating to efficiency of balancing technological and print requirements for
the promotion of the online learning methods.
 Incapability of utilising technological advancement for innovation and investment
have created barrier for making education in the cloud.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
 Demand for well-educated population for competing in the global market is creating
pressure on the organization to fulfil this demand
 Political instabilities and need for stringent policies as well as practices for the
organizations working internationally for meeting the local requirements
 Creation of local talents is a challenge to replace the expatriate employees.
 Achieving staff safety according to the standards of security in the regions.
Along with the overall problems of the operation of the organization, the Project
Dawn has developed several new challenges which need to be transformed into strength of
the organization. These 4 key areas to address are strategic directions, structure, clients and
partners and financial stability. In this project problems related to performance by the ways
by which the organization is able to maintain its position in order to bridge the gap between
the demands of the organizations in both HR and business, are needed to be discussed. Here
the students are considered to be the clients of the organization mainly belong to different
backgrounds. This is the reason why the HR managers need to be provide major levels of
support to the employees so that they can receive effective training based on services that
need to be performed.
Lack of proper access to the resources that have been gained in their operations in the
industry. The effective implementation of skills and development of resources is thereby
considered to be the most significant aspect related to the operations that are maintained in
the industry. Incapability of the organization for keeping the clients informed to maintain the
market share and increase stakeholders and partner engagement level. Due to the inability to
cope up with the financial problems for lacking fund the program has been facing issues in
balancing the long term stability with the short term focusing the ongoing services, funding
and cost constraints.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
Analysis of the business and people risks and issues related to the area:
The merger based operations that have been performed by the organization have
played a major role in increasing the levels of increasing skills and capabilities of the project
by TeachInspire. The Project Dawn that has been developed and implemented by the
organization is mainly based on the ways by which TeachInspire can bring changes in the
operations in order to maintain the levels of profitability (Kryscynski & Ulrich, 2015). The
revenues and profitability of the organization are based on the development of the operations
in the industry. The people or employees of the organization need to be provided with
effective levels of training so that they can serve the customers (Lee, Park & Baker, 2018).
The training programs that can be formed by the organization have a major impact on the
ways by which employees play important role in the development of skills and competencies
of the project in the target area. The management of the organization will thereby need to be
develop the training programs in such a manner that will fulfil the demands and needs of the
employees. The development of effective training will be able to play a key role in the proper
formation of the position of the organization. The issues that are mainly faced by the modern
organizations are based on the ways by which the operations can be maintained in different
competitive industries.
The issues that are faced by the organization are considered to be highly important
aspects that can have a major impact on the long term organizational operations. The skills
and capabilities mainly fails due to the inability to integrated strategy for new organization to
address outstanding issues regarding the priorities and alignment. The skill gaps are affecting
the technological development leading to the innovation hence the organization is losing
projects. In addition to this, the zero hours workforce issues have affected the competency of
the organization. Competitive market has demanded for new entrants in provision of
teachers’ training along with wide educational services. It is leading towards the talent

shortage in the key abilities like research and development. In addition to this volunteer
workforce problem is increasing the challenges of skills and competencies of the
organisational project.
The opportunities will be gained through the process of transforming the weaknesses
to strengths. The use of social media will be helpful for increasing the effectiveness of the
operations of TeachInspire in the industry (Sparrow, 2016). The levels of competencies
within the organization can be increased in an effective manner with the support that is
provided by the social media based interactions where the employees themselves are finding
the fact that the organization is acting like a large MNC without acknowledging its size. The
clients and stakeholders of the organization are able to play a key role in the development of
the operations of TeachInspire (Sparrow & Makram, 2015). The Educational Services that are
provided by the organization will reach more number of clients with the help of proper usage
of social media. The platforms based on social media are considered to be an important factor
that is able to affect the profitability levels that are gained by the organization (Stone &
Deadrick, 2015). The ability that has been developed by the organization is considered to be
an important factor that can help the organization to implement the resources in an efficient
manner (Stone et al., 2015). The efficient usage of resources is able to play a key role in the
formation of the position of the organization in competitive education based industry. The
education practice that has been developed in UK has been supported in a huge manner by
the operations of TeachInspire in the industry (Turulja & Bajgoric, 2018). The sources,
sponsors and stakeholders of the organization will be able to play a major role in the ways by
which the levels of revenues can be increased in an effective manner. The savings that are
gained by the organization are able to affect the levels of investments that are made by
TeachInspire (Vardarlıer, 2016).
