In our traditional 3-circle HR service delivery models (Ulrich model really), one of the major components is the center of excellence or center of expertise (COE).\u00a0 The COE has never really evolved over time, but perhaps it\u2019s ripe to do so now.\u00a0 Traditional COE\u2019s have always been benefits, compensation, recruiting, etc\u2026\u00a0 However, this may not eventually be the right COE\u2019s for an HR model of the future where we are less focused on internal policy and procedure, and more focused on what the business needs.<\/p>\n
Perhaps we are transitioning to a COE model if the future.\u00a0 We now see many more VP\u2019s of talent where they view all the cross functional components of talent from performance to comp to workforce planning and recruiting.\u00a0 These may bring together individuals from the more traditional COE\u2019s or they may be completely new structures with new dedicated employees.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m very interested in what a COE might look like in the more distant future though.\u00a0 Perhaps a COE on how HR can integrate talent with innovation planning?\u00a0 Perhaps a COE to ensure that competencies are effectively communicated to the business and collaboration executed?\u00a0 Or even an R&D COE that mixes individuals from the business and HR practitioners?<\/p>\n
When we\u2019re designing COE\u2019s we should not just think of them as policy and design.\u00a0 We should look beyond traditional employee programs that we deliver and start thinking about how we get more cross functional within our overall HR organization.\u00a0 Then we should look beyond that and see how we can be more cross functional within the confines of the business as a whole.<\/p>\n
I think that this is one of those little thought about areas where we can help ourselves to a \u201cseat at the table.\u201d\u00a0 Rather than thinking strategically at the top levels of HR, shouldn\u2019t all of our COE\u2019s be doing the same?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
