An HR strategy before the system decision.
Several HR systems across multiple countries, and a request for a new tool before anyone had agreed what HR should do.
Situation
Approach
Operating model first: what HR should deliver in three years, and which capabilities that takes.
Requirements derived from that model, not from a vendor's feature list.
A shortlist worth the demos, scripted so every vendor answered the same questions.
Result
One platform decision, with a business case leadership signed off and could defend to the board.
Timeline and savings: figures to be confirmed with the client.
Being asked for a system before the strategy?
Thirty minutes on the five questions to settle before any vendor demo.
Illustrative example, shown to demonstrate the format. A verified client case will replace it.
