There's an interesting article in HR Magazine today suggesting that organisations are at risk from a digital delusion which is about digital as a synonym for technology and therefore about HR systems. think the point is a good an important one - 'digital' is hard to understand. agree it's not just about technology, but then if it's not, what is it about? Whereas value for money technology focuses on data for HR (HR systems!) It helps them take ownership of their own review and hence is likely to have more impact on their performance. More later.
