The role of HR has undergone significant transformation over the years. While we agree that HR should be a strategic partner, there's a nuanced perspective to consider. Max’s research proposes a pivot in how HR is structured to focus more directly on the capabilities required for successful strategy execution.
The pivot relies on a combination of two things: (a) a new set of design criteria (objectives) for HR and the HRBPs – delivering the required workforce and strategic capabilities that enable the business outcomes, and (b) new processes for identifying, measuring, and improving the needed workforce and strategic capabilities.
