Course Overview

Most disputes about HR digital project planning begin as a conversation that was handled badly. The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through project planning. Mature organisations treat this part of people management and development as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of HR digital project planning and prepares them for it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this aspect of people management and development and the judgement to adapt it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of project planning to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme works equally well for those formalising HR digital project planning for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Progress on project planning is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the practice within people management and development rather than a set of notes.
