How effective is your HR model
given the business and market trends?
Talent
management
is driven from the
center but should
be embedded in the
line for maximum
impact.
Fragmented
solutions and
COEs that produce
conflicted
policies.
Insular –
no time to learn
new things and
reach out to
the outside
world.
Not data
driven.
Bloated;
not lean
enough.
Resources
locked up in business
units; no longer relevant
to a globally integrated
organization.
Ivory
tower
COEs.
Irrelevant,
one-size-fits-all
practices
Doesn’t
address
the extended
workforce.
Do we need
HR at all?
Inflexible.
Business
partners lack
strong business
understanding and
necessary
skills.
Business
partner roles
have been
“hollowed out”
by COEs.
Global
standards,
but not locally
relevant.
Not
innovative.
Duplication
of work.

Some questions to ponder
• Disband or drastically change CoE’s and
HRBP’s role?
• Operate with project–specific, temporary
teams from inside or outside the
organization?
• Integrate with other functions and
disciplines?
• Bifurcate into two different functions?
• Shift Work to employees or others in
the business?
• Create an open innovation platform?
• Use successful, cross–functional models?
• Redefine SSC as employee services with
rest of HR owning the talent agenda?
