GI’s new belief system can be encapsulated in the values that are recommended. The values of Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Excellence, and Service are the set of definitions that are leaders across the business can not only communicate but also reinforce systematically to provide a basis purpose and directions for the GI Business (Simons 1995). These new values set out a guide to the desired culture the GI need and what is expected from all our teams and link very well to the position strategy.

The resource effectiveness of the existing GI business model has, in the past, been adversely impacted by low value areas taking the focus for the business, such as the claims areas. This misalignment between the previous positioning strategy and resource capabilities are largely as a result of their organisational design. This is evidenced in cultural issues resulting from structural and system misalignments and supports the recommendations for change in these areas of the congruence model.
However to further align the business to the recommended strategy we need to ensure that the human resource (HR) strategy is aligned to the capabilities that support the positioning strategy and ensure suitable management practices and HR management structure are specified to support it. A distinct new culture will be required to be fostered. Figure 13 below, demonstrates the principle shift required in moving the dominant culture from the Hierarchy culture which focuses on Order, rules and regulation, uniformity to a Market culture that focuses production/service delivery with an emphasis competitive advantage and market superiority. A Market culture is most aligned to the capabilities that support the considerations of the sustainable competitive advantage of risk selection and analytics.

During the 6th to 2nd centuries BCE, several challenges contributed to philosophers and leaders revising existing belief systems and developing new ones.

Although several different challenges, such as religion, caused leaders to revise existing belief systems and create new ones, ultimately it was the challenges of new methods of education, various wars between countries, and the influence of different cultures that contributed to the new belief systems.
In these modern times, most adults have been exposed to a variety of world-views and the ideas that those world-views encompass. There exists a vast variety of deeply help beliefs throughout the world. These core belief systems can be broadly categorized into three schools of thought. The first is theism. Theism is the category of belief systems that claim a higher power exists. It can be broken down into many categories such as monotheism, polytheism, or pantheism, but the primary theistic religions are Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. The second category is atheism. Atheism is the belief that no higher power exists at all. The third category, which is sometimes considered as a subcategory of both theism and atheism, is agnosticism. Agnostics claim that there is not sufficient evidence, nor will there ever be, to know whether a higher power does or

Pauley asks, “Exactly who handles all the pieces of a sale like this”, Sales Team Member 3 stated the situation is getting depressing.

For the majority of American workers, the ultimate mission of their employer is to make a quality product, with the ultimate goal of making a profit. For my employer, the Department of Defense (DOD), the mission, “is to provide the military forces to deter war and to protect the security of our country” (About the Department of Defense, 2015). Having employees that understand how they contribute to the mission, vision, and goals of the DOD is taught from day one. With the ultimate responsibility of taking life, strong core values are also of high importance. Each component of the DOD create their own statements of how to complete their specific area of responsibility in the DOD mission. For the Air Force, each section all the way down to individual units, develop their own statements on how they fit into the overall mission. The following paragraphs will discuss the Technical Order Home Office’s, core values, mission, vision, goals, structure of the unit, and how the key leaders contribute to the overall success of the Air Force and the DOD.

Today it is widely accepted that linking HR to strategy because of a shift in ideas concerning competition and firm advantage (Snell, Shauder and Wright (2001:3)). This shift was identified by Quin (1992:241) "with rare exceptions, the economic and producing power of the firm lies more in its intellectual and service capabilities than in its hard assets"
During this portion of the case study I will try to define the current connection between organizational strategy and HR activities at The King Company. The current relationship between the King Company and Staff departments lacks structure, trustworthiness, and leadership.

It is a practice devised to maximise the performance of employees and is concerned with the application of management principles to manage organisational personnel while paying attention to the policies and systems of the entity (Delaney & Huselid, 1996).
