Abstract: The human resource can create value for the organisation by having high performance, when individuals have competencies aligned with the organisation's strategy. Since organisational capabilities translate strategies into actions and they are a common terminology of strategies and organisational components, the goal of the present research is to measure the HR strategic readiness regarding organisational capabilities. The proposed mechanism has been reviewed by a case study research method. The study findings indicate that product development, market development, product promotion and stabilisation of quality are the strategies emphasised by the organisation. Among six strategic job families identified, the strategic readiness of one group was weak, one group was moderate and other job families had acceptable strategic readiness.

Keywords: organisational capabilities; HR strategic readiness; competency profile.
