Do I ever get sick of being the only one who talks about innovation and preaching that HR should be involved?\u00a0 Sometimes I feel like I\u2019ve spent the last 6 months spewing on about collaboration and innovation and how HR should be part of the lead for figuring how that stuff works.\u00a0 After all, it\u2019s about how the WORKFORCE comes together and interacts to create product.\u00a0 Yes, that\u2019s all the businesses\u2019 responsibility, but we can\u2019t really ignore it, can we?<\/p>\n

Well, turns out that I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s been thinking this.\u00a0 Thomas Otter<\/a> wrote back in April about a beautiful tool that SAP is using to help their employees understand innovation and how the collaboration networks can be utilized.\u00a0 Some nice commentary is included from users at SAP.<\/p>\n

Do I realistically think that HR can participate in this discussion?\u00a0 And why do I think that?\u00a0 Yes, and I think that because we have other core data that makes it possible.\u00a0 If we\u2019re identifying competencies and expertise, our data in HR should be part of the algorithm that eventually calculates if someone is a go to person for particular topics.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the only part of the equation simply because some of our really smart people just don\u2019t have the capability to collaborate to the level that other people do.\u00a0 These are growth opportunities, and as we understand who our high potential collaborators are, we can help mold them in the right direction so that they are better go to experts.\u00a0 (the total system of technology I envision may not actually exist yet today).<\/p>\n

Similarly, we are here to develop a more productive workforce.\u00a0 While it might be someone else\u2019s responsibility to lead the development of product and production, the fact that HR touches every facet of the business can\u2019t be ignored.\u00a0 This is one of those things where if we have a \u201cseat at the table\u201d we should participate in the conversation.\u00a0 Otherwise, we should give up our seat to someone who will participate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
