A New Framework for Delivering Business Results
Technology leaders are facing increased pressure to deliver business value more quickly. With mounting pressures on business leaders to get the most from their people to hit targets, technologies that manage and optimize people are increasingly at the forefront of strategic investments. As a result, technology leaders will face significant HR technology decisions in the next three years. However, legacy frameworks and decision criteria focus on HR itself – separate from business. The time has come to fully connect HR technology to the business. What’s more, “HR” technology provides too limited a view of what needs to be achieved. The technology picture needs to focus on infusing people decisions and business decisions together – focusing on solving business problems, not further enhancing HR capabilities.
