I\u2019m most certainly an advocate that the greatest, most expensive bike you can buy simply must make you faster.\u00a0 You\u2019ll obviously climb better, sprint faster, ride longer.\u00a0 I support this model by having a very nice bike, custom built by one of the world\u2019s best welders of titanium, built to my exact specifications.\u00a0 I even had my own custom built wheels using components most people have never heard of (even for cyclists).\u00a0 So there\u2019s a point here.\u00a0 Undoubtedly I look good (actually there is some doubt here).\u00a0 But whether I\u2019m actually faster and better is certainly debatable.<\/p>\n
For HR, we have technology tools that support our service delivery.\u00a0 Technology is often slick and sexy.\u00a0 We can sit around and automate processes and transactions with our managers and employees.\u00a0 But at the end of the day, if the service delivery model is not the right fit for the organization in general, we\u2019re missing the mark strategically.\u00a0 All too often, we see technology as the way to get to strategy, and it\u2019s honestly what every technology vendor will tell you.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll free up time and money be helping you get more efficient so that you can be more strategic.\u201d\u00a0 Well, if you don\u2019t know how to be strategic, and then if you don\u2019t know how to deliver strategy, then the technology really didn\u2019t make much of a difference, did it?<\/p>\n
Once again, technology is seen as an enabler of a bit too much.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit that it\u2019s a critical component that you probably can\u2019t do without if you\u2019re trying to transform the delivery of HR services to your organization, but it\u2019s not the complete answer.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When you address \u201cgetting more strategic\u201d this involves a very large number of items to address, from your staffing model to the staff competencies itself, from the new processes you use to the behaviors that enforce adoption into those processes, etc\u2026\u00a0 Technology is only the beginning of a restructuring exercise that you\u2019ll be going through to achieve your final end state.\u00a0 Like the bike, it does not make you faster and better.\u00a0 Like the bike rider, getting fit is about the rider, not the tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
