Who Should Attend: Senior business and HCM leaders involved in technology selection who want to build a comprehensive HCM technology selection process that aligns with business goals and creates and sustains organizational success.

Understanding Leading Practices for HCM Technology

For years, senior leaders have been tasked with understanding the drivers, trends and challenges for selecting HCM technology – aligning corporate goals with the HCM technology strategy, supporting key learning and HR processes through HCM technology, IT considerations and others -- without any real data that illuminates why each activity is critically important to the other and without insight as to the enablers underscoring each activity. Of course, inefficiencies and ineffectiveness prevail. To break that low-impact cycle, this workshop provides insights on:

• The key linkage between business goals and HCM technology selection
• Building the business case for HCM technology selection
• Aligning organizational leaders with the HCM technology selection process

Understanding HCM Technology

Understanding leading practices for HCM technology is just the start. For business and HCM leaders to take action, another critical step is understanding how effective the current HCM technology strategy is – what works, what doesn’t, what is a priority for change, who needs to be involved in change decisions, and what organizational factors hinder or help the change transformation. The curriculum allows leaders to:

• Assess HCM technology trends within organizations
• Understand what technology providers are currently offering
• Evaluate key considerations for choosing HCM technology

HCM Technology Selection Leading Practices

A key to a more effective HCM technology selection process is an actionable plan that follows leading and critical HCM technology selection practices. In this section of the curriculum, leaders will create a pragmatic action plan for selecting HCM technology. Sharing their plans with peers through group activities and an informal panel discussion, leaders will have the opportunity to validate and revise their plans in preparation for execution of them immediately upon returning to work. This section of the workshop covers:

• HCM technology requirements identification and prioritization and use case development
• Solution provider selection
• Preparing to interact with solution providers (developing an RFI, conducting product demos, scoring demos)
• RFP development and contract negotiations
• Change management and implementation
