A conversation with Satpal Biant, Head of Public Sector, 麻豆原创 and Michael Esau, Global HR Advisor, 麻豆原创<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Anyone who has ever undergone a major technology implementation realises, often too late, that cultural transformation goes hand-in-hand with any digital transformation. With more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and organisations achieve peak performance, including spending the last ten years in global HR Advisory roles for 麻豆原创, Michael Esau has seen and helped organisations manage a fair share of organisational changes. The most significant of those changes has likely been the way technology has transformed the way organisations operate, collaborate, and communicate.<\/p>\n
Recently, Michael sat down with Satpal Biant, Head of Public Sector at 麻豆原创 UK & Ireland, to discuss how organisations like those in the UK public sector who are currently implementing the Shared Services Strategy, can get employees onboard from the outset and how organisations can use the process of digital transformation to their advantage \u2013 to identify outdated processes and identify where automation and collaboration can create a more productive, efficient and successful organisation.<\/p>\n
Satpal:<\/strong> Michael, we\u2019ve both been in the trenches on many major digital transformation programmes in the Public Sector; from a people-perspective, what do you think is the essential starting point when guiding a customer through the 麻豆原创 transformation journey?<\/p>\n
Michael:<\/strong> The most fundamental thing for organisational leaders to do is to set that North Star; to know how you want the technology to work for you and your organisation. For example, if a department is considering implementing new HR processes, it should be thinking about its end-goals like making onboarding journeys straightforward, as well as making the workplace a great place to learn, grow and perform well for existing employees.<\/p>\n
