I have often seen these kinds of struggles as being about power, or the perceived loss of power. Standardizing, streamlining, automating, etc. - these usually involve some obvious or even subtle power shifts in an organization, and those that see themselves on the losing end of these shifts don't usually take them without some struggle.

I've often shared with my clients that they need to work WITHIN the capabilities of their systems and where processes don't align justify why their way of meeting the business need is superior. Unless the gap is related to a regulatory requirement or a competitive advantage, the system-delivered processes should be accepted as-is. <br /><br />And let's be brutally honest, what HR practice that is supported by a transactional HRIS is truly a source of competitive differentiation?Bryon Abramowitzhttp://thehrtechnologist.comnoreply@blogger.com
