HR Transformation

Research shows that 40% of HR Transformation programmes do not achieve their goals of reducing costs or improving service.  There is often a significant gap between a cost effective HR Vision that aims to make HR functions more effective and actually achieving quantifiable results. All too often, the day-to-day process of running HR means transformation is difficult, and also requires different skills (see survey showing that 60% of HR Transformation Programmes give ‘lack of appropriate skills in HR’ as biggest barrier)

Glass Bead Consulting begins all HR Transformation projects with a full and in-depth assessment of your HR function by experienced HR Consultants.  We help you avoid costly mistakes by evaluating your business case for internal or external change and assessing the return on investment for implementation and delivery.

The long term success of any solution depends on the results achieved at each stage of the transformation cycle.  Glass Bead Consulting has developed HR Transformation Lifecycle™ to help clients through the 5 typical phases of HR Transformation programmes:

1. Assessment and Vision – we assess your current HR performance to identify the future needs
2. Planning – we plan how to bridge the gap between the current assessment and your HR vision
3. Design – we design your HR organisation design, HR process design or new system requirements
4. Implement – the next stage is to build or buy the capabilities to deliver the new model
5. Deliver and optimise – we ‘go-live’, stabilise new services, set up continuous improvement processes

Before considering a transformation programme, ask yourself if you can answer the following:

• What is the current state of your HR function and how does it compare to your competitors?
• How do I produce a business case that sells the project to my senior stakeholders?
• What processes can I outsource, what are the potential benefits and pitfalls?
• What is the best way to construct a HR Transformation project team?
• Is my organisation ready for a HR Transformation programme?
• How can I ensure I avoid the pitfalls and problems that others have experienced?
