A Methodological Approach to Evaluating the Level of Staff Competence for Implementation of Strategic Changes

Abstract

The article defines that a successful implementation of strategic changes largely depends on the timely and adequate managerial decision-making and the correct implementation of the decisions made, and therefore - on the competence of managers and participants in the strategic changes. In this regard, a methodical approach to evaluate the level of staff competence for implementation of strategic changes is suggested and the importance of using the qualimetric method for this assessment is substantiated. The proposed approach be implemented in a step-by-step sequence: selection and substantiation of the method for evaluating staff competence; substantiation of parameters of the model for evaluating the level of staff competence to carry out strategic changes at enterprise; determining the level of staff competence to make strategic changes; interpretation of the data obtained regarding the ability of staff to implement strategic changes. The use of this approach will assist not only identifying the ability of staff to implement strategic changes by determining their level of competence, but also developing advisory measures in order to ensure the staff readiness for strategic changes and leveling possible resistance during the organizational changes.
