#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 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, ...

#StratBlog Series 4: “If it ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it#

“If it ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it” A friend of mine bought a brand new Ferrari; This car was a true man made sculpture. I remember looking at the car and I was just awed by the perfection. The exterior was designed to be aerodynamic and it is perfectly balanced to take corners at high speeds, the tires were created for exceptional road handling, and the engine tuned for maximum performance. Sitting in the drivers seat the interior was amazing. The high quality leather was designed for maximum comfort and the gauges and controls were perfectly arranged to enhance the overall experience. Six months later, I ran into the same friend and he was expressing his displeasure with his new car. He told me that he felt the engine was under powered, the car drove like a truck, and that he had challenges in keeping the gauges calibrated giving him inaccurate driving information. As he was speaking, I was thinking to myself, this is a Ferrari one of the most desirable cars in the world, this mus...

#StratBlog: HR-a-a-B (HR-as-a-Business) it’s time for HR to Run like a business.

HR-a-a-B (HR-as-a-Business) it’s time for HR to Run like a business. As organizations shift their business models to accommodate the ever changing economic, political, competitive, and digital landscapes, the expectation is that HR is also shifting how they work. HR needs to ensure the right people infrastructure is in place to drive business outcomes. Organizations are expecting HR to not only manage the programs to attract, engage, and retain talent, but to clearly align and articulate how HR is providing tangible business value and impact on key business metrics. However, based on a SAP study, The Future HR , we know this is a challenge . “79% Organizations consider it important for business KPIs and HR KPIs to be tightly aligned; only 30% are able to do so.” Having the opportunity to engage in value conversations with many key HR Executive customers, it is evident that in most cases HR is focused on measuring HR operational metrics, i.e. time to fill, # of ...
