-Build a shared roadmap that balances innovation with fiscal responsibility
-Create joint governance and data frameworks that enhance decision-making and compliance
-Reallocate budget from maintenance to modernization through smarter system design and automation

Deskless But Connected: Getting the Right Data to People Who Don't Stay Put

AI is here to stay, and it’s disrupting jobs, roles, skills, and business models. What this means for Human Resources: A new operating system, Systemic HR™, is required for organizations to dynamically adapt to these changes and capture the organizational and individual benefits of AI.

For this new approach, next-generation, employee-first HR technology, AI, and a fundamentally different approach to people analytics are necessary. Rather than just automating previously manual transactions and achieving economies of scale, leading companies use technology, AI, and analytics to empower employees with insights to drive their career and productivity while also guiding leaders and HR to make better business decisions.

In this research-based webinar, Josh Bersin and Kathi Enderes will explain how the world’s most successful organizations use HR technology, embed AI into all areas of HR, and leverage business-oriented analytics to free up HR’s time from administrative burden to value-added consulting, quantify and prioritize business problems, and create significantly higher value for the organization.

•    How can you effectively organize and catalog your company’s HR-related tech systems and applications?  

•    In areas with system redundancy, how do you decide what to keep and what to retire?

•    Where should AI come into play when making tech-related decisions and the importance of fully understanding how and where data is integrated, stored and used.  Note: These are important considerations even if AI is not an immediate priority.

•    How can you best communicate to senior leaders and stakeholders where and why new investments are needed and where cuts could potentially be made?
