Voice of Conference: Process Management Edition
Wednesday Jan 13, 2016
Wednesday Jan 13, 2016
As we all know when we go to conferences we have several questions that surface as we attend presentations. To facilitate getting answers to those questions APQC introduced its inaugural Voice of Conference. Throughout the conference attendees were encouraged to place questions on whiteboards and rate the ones they found particularly meaningful. APQC’s staff then answered the most popular questions submitted.
During this podcast APQC’s Holly Lyke-Ho-Gland and Jeff Varney answer all of the questions that were not addressed at the conference on a range of process management topics (e.g., cross-functional processes, governance, and buy-in).

While many are calling for HR to serve a more strategic role, there are others who say HR’s job is to function as a hub dedicated to the administrative tasks that keep employees shuffling along. Amid these diametrically opposed concepts comes the HRBP– a role designed to serve as a conduit between the tactical and the strategic functions of both HR and the business.
So what’s holding back HRBPs? Is it the skills gap associated with training generalists to become strategists? Is it a lack of organizational enablement or recognition of the strategic power of the role?
