#StratBlog Series 2: #Managing Digital Disruption Requires a #Strategy and the right #Mindset

The "Digital" movement is here!!!! and it is causing major disruption across all industries and the workforce everywhere.

What is Digital Disruption?
According to SAP Center for Digital Leadership, "Digital disruption is the change that occurs when new digital technologies and business models affect how an organization creates and retains value." 

How is it Disrupting?
This value can be seen as the digital ecosystem shifts from translating data into insights, to leveraging data to drive actions. All around us we are being disrupted by Big Data, IOT, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Analytics, and Digital Intelligence.

We are now at a significant tipping point, where technology is no longer the enabler, but influencer. Organizations are being forced to rethink their business strategies and workforce needed to stay relevant and competitive.

For the first time, organizations are being forced to break down silos and come together (Business, Finance, Procurement, Human Resources, IT, etc.) to create a unified operating model with enterprise synergies across people, process, and technology.

How are organizations Adopting this shift?
According to a digital business study conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review in 2016, Only 44% of respondents stated they were adequately preparing for disruptions due to digital trends. (http://sloanreview.mit.edu/2016-digital-business-interactive-tool/)

How do we Mitigate the"Digital"Readiness Risk?
  1. Digital Strategy to articulate the short, mid, and long term direction, outcomes, and value to the business.
  2. Digital Mindset to shift the culture and behaviors of the organization and workforce through transparency of expectations and outcomes.
  3. Digital Principles guide integrated decisions across people, process, and technology.
  4. Digital Experience delivers continuous engagement and connections to the individual stakeholders. 
  5. New or Optimize business models with the right resource and solution capabilities to execute the digital strategy.
  6. Manage technology innovation to influence and enable the future of work and digital transformation.

#StratBlog Series 6: The #1 Question #HR Should be asking? "Should I Stay or Should I Go" (PART 2)

Should I Stay or Should I Go?  (Blog 2 of 2) I n part 1 of this blog (posted October 11, 2017), I provided researched based insights as to why HR has not moved to the cloud. The short of it, is that HR organizations are interested, but not committed based on: HR Direction = No strategy and defined outcomes.  Digital Capabilities = No internal resources with digital skills to manage and sustain.  Low Risk Tolerance = No investment based on perceived short term ROI.  Company Culture = No appetite to manage the change.  I also highlighted three reasons why HR Should Go. I outlined these based on delivering: Relevance = The value HR brings to the Business.  Difference = The innovative services HR delivers that separates us from the competition.  Demand = The insight of change and how it will create or optimize relevance and difference.  What does Relevance, Difference, and Demand look like? This is ultimately a question you will need to answer for yoursel

#StratBlog Series 5: The #1 Question HR Should be asking? "Should I Stay or Should I Go"

Should I Stay or Should I Go?  (Blog 1 of 2) In 1982 an English Punk Rock Band named "The Clash" released their popular song "Should I Stay or Should I go". This song outlines a couple indecisive about their future. Regardless of the outcome, there will be obstacles and challenges to overcome,"If I go there will be trouble, and if I stay there will be double". Pondering on the lyrics, it made me ask this question. Would I "stay" and deal with the same challenges, only to achieve the same results, or Would I "go" and face new challenges with the opportunity to achieve new results? HR is it a serious tipping point and needs to make a decision on its future. Although we have seen some progress, HR remains in the balance between transactional and strategic. Will HR settle for status quo or make a commitment to digitally transform? According to a study released on September 5, 2017 by KPMG "Which lens are you using", &qu

#StratBlog Series 1: Six #HR Principles When #Transforming to the #Cloud

HR's move to a cloud ecosystem is no longer a question of if, but an expectation driven by the workforce. The experience delivered by the commercial market has set a very high standard, and these expectations are filtering into organizations.  The workforce in and out of the office have become dependent on their smart phone, smart house, and now their smart car. However, regardless how smart or digital you want to come, transforming to this new state requires organizational sponsorship from the business, IT, Finance, HR, etc. Dipping your HR toe in the water never accomplished anything more than getting your toe wet. Moving to the cloud requires the entire organization to be ready and fully committed to taking the plunge to change the culture and mindset. Taking the plunge does not come without consequences, in fact accordingly to #McKinsey&Company, 70% of transformations do not achieve the desired organizational outcomes.  This statement is not intended to deter you, but m
