Why do some HR technology approaches succeed while others fail?

If the time has come for your organization to choose a new HR software platform, this is an important question to ask.

How does an organization find the right HR software platform? One approach is to find a company with a successful HR technology strategy and simply use the same HR software vendor they use.

But this doesn’t always work.

Every company is different. A solution that works for one company may not work for another.

A better approach is to learn about the process the successful organization went through to find the right platform and adapt a similar plan for your organization.

  • What were their key objectives?
  • What questions did they ask during the vendor search?
  • What did they understand about the implementation before project kick-off?
  • What did they consider at each stage of the process, from selection to go-live?

If you find enough companies who have succeeded and work backwards to understand how each of those companies achieved that success, you start to notice that the things they considered along the path to that success are often the same.

Join Patrick Sayers, (LinkedIn profile) President Newcastle Research, to learn about some of the most important things successful companies consider on the path to a successful HR technology strategy.

  •  The pros and cons of the different options available (HCM, PEO, In-House etc.)
  •  SaaS vs. license
  • Single database vs. multiple databases
  • When going through a reseller can be a good thing, and when it might be cause for concern
  • The #1 thing to consider when choosing a new vendor

Financial success depends on investment in doing business digitally.

However, traditional financial management processes, like fixed budgets, are not working. Executives are nervous about waterfall projections for 2021, despite the gradual rollout of vaccines. Pre-COVID concerns continue, such as regulatory and political upheaval, data safety, trade disputes, and geopolitical conflict.

Will your organization suffer or improvise, adapt, and overcome?

In this webinar Stewart Buchanan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst,  looks at why a dynamic agile adaptive IT budgeting approach could be your key to survival.

Discussion Topics:

  • How financial agility enables your organization to handle almost anything in 2021
  • Why waterfall budgeting defeats agile product development and leads to a corporate extinction event
  • What you can and must change, even if you don’t run the company or make all the rules
