In Hacking HR we have a strong belief that HR as a function has the potential to become the trailblazer leading the way forward for people and organizations. We believe that HR sits a the most extraordinary intersection of people and business operations, and it is at that intersection where all the value is created. But, having the potential to become something doesn't mean that the potential will actually be realized and unleashed. Embracing the "unrealized" potential and believing that we have it should inspire us to close all the knowledge and skill gaps we currently have to transition from our current HR state to that of a trailblazer. We know it is possible. We know it. But, it is up to you (and us) to believe in that potential and unleash it. It is up to all of us, together, to transform HR not just into a business leadership function, but into *T H E* leadership function that leads the way and brings everyone on the path forward, together with us. That, folks, is a trailblazer. And certainly that is what we believe HR can become. Check out these six skillsets we need to include in our portfolio of HR operations to become the trailblazer. It doesn't matter if you know nothing about them. Believe that they will deliver value to you in your capacity as a trailblazer and get on the learning journey! Are you with us?
The intersection where HR meets people and business operations is indeed a powerful space. It’s where strategy aligns with human capital, and value is co-created. However, as you rightly pointed out, potential alone doesn’t guarantee results. Realizing that potential requires intentional action, innovation, and a commitment to continuous improvement. HR’s potential lies not only in understanding the intersection but actively shaping it.
Absolutely! Completely agree that HR has the potential to become the trailblazer for people and organizations. It's exciting to think about the value that can be created at the intersection of people and business operations.
