Description of the technique
The Resource Audit is used to analyse key areas of internal capability in order to
identify the resources that will enable business change and those that will
undermine or prevent such efforts.
Figure 1.2 shows the areas analysed as part of the Resource Audit.
The five areas of resource to examine are:
Financial: The financial resources available – which may simply be the
organisation’s financial assets, but could also include the
possibility of loans and credit. We need to consider whether
the organisation is financially stable, and whether it has
access to funds for investment and development.
Physical: The land, buildings and equipment available for use by the
organisation, whether owned or leased.
