Transforming HR and IT from “Wayward Children” to Drivers of Business SuccessIt is my belief that sound human resource (HR) and information technology (IT) practices are capable of driving organizational success. Yet my observation and experience indicate that far too many HR and IT departments do not even come close to realizing this capability. To the contrary, both areas often are viewed internally as obstacles to individual and organizational success that divert scarce resources from areas that do the “real” work.
My contention is that organization executives enable mediocre performance by failing to challenge HR and IT to live up to their respective potential. Actively and passively, intentionally and unintentionally, consciously and unconsciously, they enable behavior and results that they refuse to accept from other functional areas. Though others, including HR and IT professionals and academics, certainly can “claim” a share of the blame, the top decision-makers are the ones who consistently have tolerated behavior and results that fall far short of the mark.
