Assess the current state of HR digital transformation against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Comprehensive Digital Transformation of Human Resources Departments
A senior-level treatment of HR digital transformation, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Data on HR digital transformation is abundant; insight about it is not. The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through this area of people management and development. Participants finish able to explain this aspect of people management and development to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The professional literature on HR digital transformation converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within people management and development it covers ends in something applicable. Buying a tool rarely fixes this aspect of people management and development; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about HR digital transformation in their own setting. The programme suits teams tackling this part of people management and development together as readily as individuals attending alone. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within people management and development ready to put in front of a decision maker.
