A new HR tool is being rolled out, workflows are being digitized, a fancy dashboard goes live – and yet the feeling remains: Nothing has really changed.
In the #makeHRbetter podcast, host Tefik Ismaili talks with Armin von Rohrscheidt about why this is usually not a tool problem, but rather a value-creation problem. Because real change starts at a deeper level: HR must adopt a much more entrepreneurial mindset – and be willing to honestly scrutinize its own structures, roles and products.
The more AI changes the world of work, the more important it becomes to preserve what remains – and must remain – human. “Value creation” without genuine “people value” is only partially effective – and this is precisely where HR’s central responsibility lies: to contribute to business success in a visible and evidence-based way. In this episode, the two discuss, among other things:
- why so many HR transformation projects still fail – and what paves the way for successful approaches,
- which metrics you can use to identify a truly successful HR transformation,
- what an ideal HR function might look like in 2035 if it consistently focuses on value creation
- and whether HR needs professional product management to define services more clearly and highlight their value.
Not exactly light reading for HR – but it’s exactly the discussion HR needs right now: the balance between AI, people value and clear corporate responsibility.
