Porter’s Five Forces

  • Reflecting back on Porter’s Five Forces:
    • Are there competitive new entries or threats of substitutes that could impact the workforce?
    •  Are there shifts in competitive rivalry or power shifts with either suppliers or buyers?
  • Are their macro elements (e.g., factors from PESTEL)
    • Are there new technologies that may disrupt the industry?  What skills will be needed to meet those needs?
    • Changes in political or environmental factors that impact workforce needs ?
    • Impact of social changes or worker attitudes that could impact conditions of employment (e.g., increase in freelance workers, trend of a remote workforce)?
  • For SWOT analysis, are any weaknesses within an industry, or threats outside of it, that will effect the talent needed in the future?
