Understand what matters when redesigning HR.
- HR executives struggle to find the right delivery model, and often view the three-prong model as an end goal.
- This delivery model often fails to realize desired results; while in some cases it was not implemented properly, at times it is not the right model in the first place.
- Organizations have unique operating environments and strategies, but have focused on adopting universal HR delivery models.
