Have You Created or Deployed A Digital HR Strategy

Since you are winding down for the year and getting ready for 2009 I am sure each of the HR leaders have deployed their 2009 HR strategy. As a consultant I can always look under the hood and find something that an HR department is not doing but in the case of digitalization and the web here are some things that should be included in your digital HR strategy:

1. Utilizing Web 2.0 to drive HR optimization;
2. Incorporating all the relevant portals that maximize efficiency;
3. Incorporating social networks as part of daily HR life as well as recruiting;
4. Ensuring that your company has governance around social software;
5. Embrace emerging technology as a first responder rather than a follower;
6. Incorporating manager access to web 2.0 & HR activities;
7. Building technological succession planning not manual.

All of these activities leverage you the HR leader as the change agent of your company. The successful deployment of these activities and other digital initiatives should drive business value and performance. This transformation from manual or Web1.0 or 1.1 for HR will help change perceptions and effective management of human capital.
