HR Business Capability Model

HR Business Capability Model is an essential tool in transforming the Human Resources function in the digital age. A map of HR capabilities can be the foundation of the process to identify the desired state of HR function and align them to business capabilities. Here is a basic overview to get you started along with a link to pre-built HR Business Capability Model.

What is an HR Business Capability Model?

As with any other business capability maps, an HR business capability model is a logical decomposition of HR function into deeper levels of granularity. The goal is to capture the essence of what HR does at an atomic building block level.

How is an HR Capability different than an HR Process?

A process is how things get done. A business capability, on the other hand, is what it does. The distinction is subtle, but yet very important. For example, Recruitment Management is a capability whereas “Campus recruiting” is a process that supports one aspect of overall recruitment management.

Processes are important, but as they are more ephemeral, it is important to focus on the capabilities at a foundational level. Then for experience optimization, the “flow type” entities such as Value Streams and Processes come into play.

A few suggestions on how to build a Human Resources Business Capability Model?

  • Don’t do it for the HR team, do it with them. The HR functional expertise is an important ingredient, as also the fact that the HR team has to use the HR capability model in their day-to-day work.
  • Model for tomorrow, not today. It is important to incorporate forward-looking capabilities into the HR capability model.
  • Go granular as at the highest level, the information is interesting but necessarily practical in key use cases.

What are the typical use cases of when and how we should use an HR Capability Map?

There are several valid and viable business and technology use cases for leveraging an HR business capability model.

  • Align your HR team and the IT team with a common language.
  • Assigning HR capabilities to the corporate strategic pillars provides a direct linkage to deign HR priorities based on corporate strategy.
  • Use the HR business capability modeling output as an input into current state analysis and transformation planning.
  • Use the HR capabilities to express your product/platform roadmap.
  • Associate HR value streams and processes to capabilities to generate a multi-dimensional picture, which in turn can help in employee experience optimization.
  • The HR capability map can be used as a basis to conduct vendor evaluation.
  • HR capabilities can agglomerate to form clusters of HR services, which can influence and shape the IT services model.

Product FAQs:

Can I see a Sample Deliverable?

We are sorry, but we cannot send or show sample deliverables. There are two reasons: A) The deliverables are our intellectual property, and we cannot share the same. B) While you may be a genuine buyer, our experience in the past has not been great with too many browsers and not many buyers. We believe the depth of the information in the product description and the snippets we provide are sufficient to understand the scope and quality of our products.

When can I access my deliverables?

We process each transaction manually and hence, processing a deliverable may take anywhere from a few minutes to up to a day. The reason is to ensure appropriate licensing and also validating the deliverables.

Where can I access my deliverables?

Your best bet is to log in to the portal and download the products from the included links. The links do not expire.

Are there any restrictions on Downloads?

Yes. You can only download the products three times. We believe that is sufficient for any genuine usage situation. Of course, once you download, you can save electronic copies to your computer or a cloud drive.

Can I share or sell the deliverables with anyone?

You can share the deliverables within a company for proper use. You cannot share the deliverables outside your company. Selling or giving away free is prohibited, as well.

Can we talk to you on the phone?

Not generally. Compared to our professional services fee, the price of our products is a fraction of what we charge for custom work. Hence, our business model does not support pre-sales support.

Do you offer orientation or support to understand and use your deliverables?

Yes, for a separate fee. You can hire our consultants for remote help and in some cases for onsite assistance. Please Contact Us.
