Executive Brief
As a Professional engaged in HRIT work, I specialize in making Enterprise HR-Technology Work. As an Executive & Performance Coach I help other Professionals achieve their full potential in the sphere of work.
In my Profession, I play the roles of Product Manager, Business Consultant (Architect), Corporate Function/sub-function Owner, Talent Engagement & Talent Development Leader of my incredible team, Lead Innovation Labs and serve as a client-facing business leader. Sometimes I wore multiple hats at once. Yes - it is difficult, but possible :)
In my area of specialization, I design frameworks in the cusp of Business, People and Technology, and manage HRIT products end to end so that deployment is frictionless, experiences are pleasant, Governance is sustainable, and Ecosystem of Work is conducive to innovation.
My current focus is on Next-Gen Enterprise Process & Technology (such as Finance, HR, and all fringe-areas that do not necessary fall in watertight compartments), with an emphasis on Human Capital Management Technology. I am also handle core Innovation in the Future of Domain, Future of Work, and the Ecosystem of Work.
Perspective: Why is Enterprise Process Consulting Crucial for business
In short, connecting these four dots reveals why Enterprise Business Domain Architects have a stellar role to play in the near future.
The Enterprise has changed, and it is changing further at a faster pace. The aftermath of changed terraform is often mind numbing to the client who have their core business to cater to. Despite an intent and resource availability from the Enterprise, we often see a lack of a cohesive strategy and/or execution, or willingness to devote into HRIT.
People are not machines. Principals of material science do not apply to humans, so Enterprises requires empathy, performance coaching and a pursuit of 'human potential excellence' which is a radical shift from paradigms of Human Resource Management (HRM) or Human Resource Development (HRD). Engaging Talent with empathy keeping business outcome in mind is a new art and science, where traditional business methods are not optimal.
Boundaries of traditional 'Enterprise Domains' are getting blurred. For example, we no longer have a water-tight compartmentalization between HR and Finance. Emerging fields such as 'Talent Supply Chain' or 'Algorithm-driven Talent Engagement' were unheard of even 10 year back, but thriving today.
Traditional cost centers (Human Resource Tech) wasn't given its' due, until post-COVID and GenAI revolution. With a renewed focus on experience-centric ecosystem, businesses are revisiting the enterprise domains in a hyper-contextualized way. Example: some organizations are getting away from formal Performance Appraisals, which was unthinkable even 5 years ago. Almost all organizations are thinking about providing great experience to their Employees, Managers, HR Centers of Excellence and Leaders, which is a great shift in mindset.
With Artificial Intelligence taking over dimensions of human life (including AI-assisted drafting of a deeply personal letter), our focus needs to shift towards rediscovering meaning of humanity neck-deep in GenAI.
Since the constructs of the 'soul' or everything that makes us human is an experiential dimension, in general the standardizations involved in factory models with procedural manipulation will not yield much in the future. In other world, App-driven stress management may not work.
My point being, the proverbial 'buck' does not stop at DEX or Digital Experience Design. It takes a human other humans to communicate, create bonds and memories, find shared success, experience joy, and find meaning in the grand design of life. So, this is time the modern Enterprise HR Technology considers a bit of 'soul searching' to incorporate cross-pollination of best practices from other proven dimensions of life that's tried and tested since time immemorial. Because this will soon affect the business bottomline.
Study of Consciousness is being enriched, thanks to the contributions from Psychology, Linguistics, Anthropology, Neurosciences and many more disciplines. My bold take is that we still lack a foundational systematics, and the focus is uneven on the exploratory realm of consciousness.
There is a scope for original work here because standard scientific doctrine (PHEOC framework: Problem > Hypothesis > Experiment > Observation > Conclusion) may not work without deployment of cross-functional, experiential and evidence-based meditative frameworks because the observer and observed space becomes one in elevated states of Consciousness.
Approach singularity is inevitable sooner than later because not much work has been done yet in the Applied Vedantic wisdom and understanding the cross-pollinated best practices for a holistic well-being in professional life.
The design of the workplaces of the future has just started evolving in the post-COVID and post Generative AI era. Use cases are in preventative mental health practices, and upgrading the 'human software' for an elevated performance, self-managing framework & holistic experience of joy. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
You need true Yogis (also known as practitioners of the 'Cognitive modalities of Yogic body of knowledge' beyond the gestures and postures of merely preparatory stages of the true "Yoga"). Sounds interesting?
Consider this: It is one thing to engross oneself and enjoy a Maestro's live performance. It becomes something else when a scientist tries to dissect the performance into its elemental level, such as measuring the frequency and rich tapestry of the Cognitive impact created by that music. For example, trying to analyze the grain of wood using which the instruments has been made, with an intent to understand how such profund impact is created might be futile. This is a proven approach for 'hard sciences', thus a preconceived notion of pureplay logical framework is not designed to yield much in the quest of 'consciousness' because its nature is integrative and holistic. It is an inward journey into the very self, and requires an internalization that difference of 'observer' and 'observed' becomes negligible. It warrants a quantum shift of approach.
Holistic and Conscious Agility is all encopassing, because just a mindset without holistic design or accelerator is not of much use. Similarly, a KPI-driven productization without necessary Cognitive alignment is incomplete. The keyword is balance, where an Executive and Performance Excellence Coaching can bring outstanding results.
Elemental components of Holistic Agility by Intent and Framework includes a meaning in actions and personalized roadmap for career and life, Client's co-designed health indicators, Emotional positivity that is organic and not forced from outside. Cohesive, Hyper-personalized framework of Self care and Flexible thinking, an Aligned mind-body 'psychosoma' in its natural state.
This is not 'one-size fits all' phenomena, certainly not when your domain of work, experience and expertise, core talent, work and social ecosystems are significantly different than others. I agree that at a species level we have certain coherent traits in humans, however I believe in hyper-personalization and contextualization of resilience frameworks that is purpose-built for you.
Consider a funny example: Can we expect an universally acceptable answer to "What's a good winter dress?" probably not, because it really depends on so many factors, such as where on earth and what's the occasion, and for whom. A 'feel like' temperature in Toronto, Canada is way different than what you would expect during the same time in Phoenix, Arizona. Cold is cold, isn't it? Perhaps No. On the same lines, it is probably less than desirable to accept an App-based framework without proper calibration and contextualization, which is guided by a 'Human' Coach who has 'been there, done that'.
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, and so are the frustration and aspirational challenges for the humans to continue to cope with the new world of AI. While the ROI on AI will continue to increase, there is no universally accepted standard or metrics to even measure the sense of helplessness in the workforce, which is not good for business in the long run. In my professional experience, meaningful Talent Engagement is achievable, however not with dated mindset, and tired systems and processes.
For the Enterprise, Innovation is the name of the game. A high employee mindshare and breakthrough innovations in your core business is only achievable when your workforce is happy and experiences a true psychological safety. Keeping the business in isolated chambers of profit-centers vs cost-center will not take it far. Eventually a design of a holistic ecosystem is inevitable where the Employee and Manager experience is not an afterthought.
The new world of work needs Empathic Design Capabilities, Hyper-contextualized services for the personas (Employees, Managers, Leaders, Customers, Corporate Service Providers), Seamless Governance with an Agile and Growth Mindset. This is a new horizon where the old constructs no longer work. This isn't easy, and this is precisely where the Enterprise Process Consultants or 'Business Architects' (due to a lack of a better word) come in.
Of course, I solve some of these challenges. If you are interested for a Collaboration, write to me.
If you are a lean startup owner, or manage a socially responsible micro-enterprise, I offer Gratis Services. Please see this.
