HR Needs To Continually Reinvent Itself
These six steps sound easy; they are not. They
require a fundamental pivot from focusing on
benchmarking and best practices to using guidance
to innovate impactful initiatives. The good news
is that we have spent two years creating an
organization guidance system that validates that
that guidance is not only valuable but possible. Even
more, starting is easy. Go to www.rbl.ai to take the

Going forward, we envision any business or HR
leader talking about human capital to be less
focused on doing what others do and more
committed and informed about what they can do
within their organization to achieve their desired
outcomes. Instead of talking generically about
the latest HR trends in (fill in the blank: employee
experience, digital HR, agility, HR design, etc.),
business and HR leaders can prioritize and invest
in specific HR initiatives that create, deliver, and
capture value.
We strongly believe that now is the time for HR to
reinvent itself by moving beyond benchmarking and
best practices to guidance.
