HR Technology Strategy

Selecting, Implementing, and Getting Value from HR Systems

An HR technology strategy decides which HR systems you need, in what order, and how each one will earn its cost. In two days, you map your current systems to your HR operating model, build the business case, and leave with a roadmap, a requirements matrix and a vendor scoring model for your own organization.

Course overview

Why this program

HR technology is one of the largest investments an HR function makes, and one of the most frequently disappointing. Systems are chosen on features rather than needs, implementations run late, and adoption stalls. This two-day program equips HR leaders to build an HR technology strategy, select the right solutions, and manage implementation and adoption so the investment delivers.

Participants map their HR technology landscape against the HR operating model, define requirements and a business case, and run a structured selection process, from market scanning and vendor demonstrations to scoring, reference checks, and contract considerations. They then plan implementation, data migration, integration, testing, and change management, and learn how to evaluate the AI capabilities now embedded in HCM, talent, and learning platforms, including data privacy and vendor governance.
