Abstract

This article is predominantly of a theoretical nature and considers the possibility of using the applied strategic analysis technique that was developed by the author to analyze learning and growth in the course of a study of strategic aspects of learning growth. The technique is based on the balanced scorecard system of the same name. Methodologically, the study is based on Kaplan and Norton’s balanced scorecard concept and the author’s concept of applied strategic analysis. It is shown that applied strategic analysis of learning and growth envisages comparative evaluation, diagnostics of deviations, and predictions of the values of the balanced scorecard metrics of learning and growth in the dimension of strategic objectives. It includes an analysis of the level of motivation in employees, the volume of authority delegation, and whether their personal goals match company goals, an analysis of the expansion capacity of information systems, and an analysis of the quality of retraining and the creativity level of employees. The author comes to the conclusion that applied strategic analysis of learning and growth is a new and sufficiently effective instrument for studying the strategic aspects of companies’ performance that are associated with the training and development of their personnel. The instrument provides analytical support to strategic management as regards personnel training and development in today’s conditions. Its results might be useful when working out managerial decisions for the company’s short-term, medium-term, and long-term plans in the area of learning and growth.
