Will you start or are you amidst a strategic HR Transformation Program ?
Are you implementing new HRIS or HR technology ?
… some suggestions for mentoring by Karin Buys:
As a Business, HR or ICT director you are doing
this a first time and are seeking strategic and
tactical guidance from someone who has been
there several times.
Your team is not familiar with these kind of
projects or certain aspects of them.
Your team needs to outgrow their expert role
and start taking more managerial tasks while
implementing or maintaining and evolving your
new HRIS.
You need to also focus on Change Management
but do not know where to start.
You want to be sure you are not forgetting all
in&outs of data mastership, change
management, SLA’s within your company or with
providers, in- or outsourcing, the maintenance
and the next upgrade after the launch …
You want to hit it right, reduce the risks and
waste no money.
You are wondering which collaboration or
contract type is most suitable.
Your teams are not familiar with cross business
or third party team set-ups.

Are you implementing new HRIS or HR technology ?
Are you busy with any of these: RFI (Request for Interest), RFP (Request for Proposal), HR package selection,
contracting, implementing, testing, interfaces, data conversion, SLA's (Service Level Agreement), Change
Management, Payroll in- or outsourcing, quality assurance, integration with business planning &
performance tools …. ?
… some suggestions for mentoring by Karin Buys:
As a delivery manager you want a second
opinion or quality check but you do not have the
time or have little experience in the specific field
of HR, BU & technology.
You have a team of junior or less senior
consultants and want to develop and motivate
them.
Your team needs to outgrow their expert role
and start taking more managerial tasks.
You need to also focus on Change Management
but do not know where to start.
Your team needs to grow but trainings come at
the wrong moment or do not exist for this area.
You need a flexible collaboration plan with an
experienced and trustworthy mentor from your
field of expertise at the right moment.
Your team has done similar projects, yet has
little experience in these new functional
domains or with certain issues.
You need support at specific moments in specific
situations for example an RFI landed, before
sending your BAFO you want a second opinion …
