The contracting of HR services and products has become easier but more complex. How is that possible? There are so many providers to select from and very easy to get into the marketplace. However navigating the scoring of functional value, fit of partnership, business case validation of cost and change management have now placed a lot of work on HR. No longer will procurement / strategic sourcing send out an RFP and give you the top three bidders with the lowest cost basis and have you select the correct provider for your company. And it is rarely appropriate to short list only best in class as it may not be best fit for your organization. Spend time with us as we discuss how to create a positive environment for the evaluation and selection of HR providers.

Five New Ways to Move Beyond Status Quo Technology Implementation HRIS and other talent technology intiatives such as ERP and cloud migrations can fail in implementation due to mis-alignment with business objectives and/or user adoption rates. In many cases, internal business users will avoid or fail to give their buy-in to the launch of a solutions launch.

This session, based on the studies of hundreds of successful technology implementations, will help HR leaders and their executive team counterparts use new "next practices" alignment and engagement techiques to accelerate successful outcomes to their technology launch(es).

Race horses have always been needed to be trained. The best race horses are the wild ones that have been given the right training and nurtured properly. A wild horse (not properly tamed) will never win you the title. It will simply run amok and cause havoc than do any good and will ultimately be needed to be put down. Any and every staffing firm is run with the motive of providing the best quality candidates to their clients and maximizing profits. This can be done through a combination of a well-designed process, increasing revenue and reducing costs. However, as is the nature of the devil, increasing revenue requires one to increase costs as well. Any Business Development or Business Enhancement plan calls for investment in the practices involved as well as the personnel. To make more revenue you need to get more requirements as well as close more deals. This requires you to hire more Business Development Managers and Recruiters and hence higher costs. Going offshore serves as the perfect solution in such a circumstance. A little “outside” help never hurt anyone and makes for the middle path to achieve your goals. However, as is the case with any business decision, it has its considerations to make. You cannot go into it unprepared and expect to reap the benefits. In this presentation we will discuss in detail the offshore option and detail on what considerations and preparation is needed to have it work for you.
