Description

Many HR organizations have over 200 HR applications, and no clear idea why. There are waves of ever more sophisticated, slick and well funded vendors gearing up to sell you more stuff. Many of you will double your HR tech spending in the next 5 years. Some of it will be awesome, a lot of it not.

This session will apply modern strategy and innovation theory and research to give you a robust framework to make HR technology investment and deployment decisions. It will help you objectively decide when to leverage your suite vendor, and when to deploy niche or best of breed solutions. We will explore how integration, UX and analytics enhancements are creating new ways to make solutions work together. There will be some AI, but just a sprinkling.
