For example, self-service initiatives may be appealing (and cost-efficient) but can create bottlenecks and inefficiencies in parts of the organization (e.g., managers lacking the understanding to execute transactions they rarely perform).
Case Study: A global pharmaceutical company was experiencing operational issues with talent acquisition in the HCM solution module. A short HCM implementation window left the organization with gaps in processes, policies, operational efficiency, user experience, and integration between talent acquisition and hiring managers. ScottMadden led a project to identify HCM technology solutions and set a strategic improvement roadmap.
Continue training on the new technology to increase user acceptance and to fully leverage new functionalities. Operational stabilization will lay the foundation for future modules and continued system improvement phases.
Leverage system reports to compile metrics and performance indicators that track adoption, identify process issues, and help prioritize opportunities (e.g., are business processes still meeting compliance requirements?).

As leaders in Human Capital Management (HCM), we help clients with every part of the HCM implementation journey. We partner with organizations exploring the implementation of an HCM technology solution and with those redesigning processes and operations years after implementing a new system. Through our engagements, we hear variations of the following three themes:
Technology is often an enabler of strategy, and HR solutions are no different. Many organizations seek new HCM implementations to improve HR’s ability to think and operate strategically.
Numerous HCM technology solutions are available in the market, and selecting the right one is essential for organizations to realize the intended benefits of a new system. Primary goals of technology enhancements should include:
Leverage best-in-class pre-built tools available in cloud-based solutions to improve internal customers’ experience with HR services.
Drive consistency and simplicity across the organization by reflecting standardized policies in aligned business processes.
Empower business partners and leaders to make informed HR decisions through visibility and real-time access to data.
Case Study: Two major retail and distribution companies merged and needed to combine their HR functions, establish a dedicated employee support center, and harmonize their HCM technology. ScottMadden advised on each phase of the HCM implementation journey to deliver an HCM solution that supported an improved service delivery model for the combined entity.
Successful implementations often take the following steps before the project begins:
In addition to a technical integrator, consider partnering with a functional adviser to manage outcomes and achieve the intended delivery model.
Enable and capacitate project team members to complete the project while meeting existing business demands.
Ensure roles and responsibilities are clear and proper governance is in place with IT to support project decisions.
Promote adoption by embedding change management every step of the way and addressing the needs and desired accountabilities of all stakeholders.
Case Study: An international construction and engineering business launched a new HCM solution across 40 countries with decentralized operations. The effort required dedicated support from various stakeholders who were tapped to assume program roles while maintaining day-to-day operations. ScottMadden helped executives with the HCM implementation program and change management, assisted with technical and functional global requirements gathering, acted as a project liaison for local teams, and supported stabilization.
Launching a new HCM solution is a meaningful step. Successful organizations create a team that continues to:
Continue training on the new technology to increase user acceptance and to fully leverage new functionalities. Operational stabilization will lay the foundation for future modules and continued system improvement phases.
Leverage system reports to compile metrics and performance indicators that track adoption, identify process issues, and help prioritize opportunities (e.g., are business processes still meeting compliance requirements?).
