HR operating models

In this series, we analyse current thinking to understand how and why people teams are reimagining their operating models. We interviewed senior people professionals across the private, public and third sectors, in organisations ranging from 1,000 to 330,000 employees, to find out:

• what factors are driving operating model transformations
• whether current operating models serve future needs
• which new models are emerging
• what makes an effective HR operating model transformation
• how the role of the HR business partner is evolving.

Our podcast and first thought leadership article provide insights gained from pioneers who are leading the way in HR operating model transformation, reflecting on current practice, the key drivers of change and emerging models.

Our growing series of accompanying case studies reflects the real-life experiences of people functions that have recently evolved their operating model, exploring why it was necessary, the changes implemented and the outcomes achieved - both for the function and the organisation – as well as the challenges faced and their top tips on how to make any transformation successful.
