To those of you who have already completed these, are there any shortcuts or pitfalls we should watch out for in the future. The biggest problem that I have encountered so far, is that people do not really no what they want.
Comments are welcome.
There is another larger issue which I encourage HR people to look at when planning, not only technological innovation, but also when assessing the role of HR in their organization. I believe that there is a need for an examination of the entire process of human resource management which includes the aspects which occur in the business units where people work - not just those transaction functions which are assigned to the HR Department. This includes work assignment, projects, team involvement, lessons learned, experience on the job, etc. The next wave of HRIS's will, in my view, be designed to capture information on this entire spectrum of information. No HRIS that I know of comes close to achieving that goal.
