More investment in tech, but still achieving little (strategic) progress? Then it’s time to stop wasting financial and human resources and shift from digital activity to strategic intent.

Human Resources (HR) technology is everywhere. Yet, for many organizations, the result is an ever-growing HR tech stack without a corresponding advancement in talent strategy. The pattern is familiar: adding tools to fix local problems, filling gaps with short-term solutions, and adopting vendor-designed workflows that shape how you make talent decisions. The consequence? Complexity, as well as financial and human waste increases, accountability dilutes and strategic drift occurs.

Join us for a live 60- minute APAC-timed Enterprise Effectiveness (EEN) session in which Sharna Wiblen (Senior Research Scientist) will share insights from this year’s HR Tech Conference and illustrate how buying more technology can take you further away from your strategic intent. You’ll learn what you can do to put your talent strategy back on track.
