The complexity of HR tech often stems from a lack of confidence and new skill requirements in procurement and project management, not the technology itself.
Technology projects fail when they try to solve misunderstood problems, which points to a broken company-wide operating model rather than a siloed HR issue.
The provocative statement "HR is dead" argues for abandoning outdated, stacked processes and completely redesigning the function for the modern tech-enabled era.
HR must evolve from a transactional, cost-focused purchasing function to a strategic marketing function that consistently attracts and retains talent.
Unlike sales or marketing, many companies lack a formal people strategy, a gap often caused by HR leaders needing more business and project management skills.
AI can take over repetitive administrative work like contract generation and scheduling, allowing HR teams to focus on higher-value, strategic activities.
AI tools can directly improve the employee experience by providing real-time leadership coaching and creating intelligent, searchable knowledge bases from company intranets.
Successfully adopting new tech requires starting with a clear problem statement and technology roadmap, then defining requirements, mapping stakeholders, and securing buy-in.
