Transformation: Why it’s needed
Note: A version of this post originally appeared on hrexecutive.com in March 2022. When IA was approached about the possibility of contributing a monthly column to HR Executive Magazine, we knew exactly what topic we wanted to focus on – Transformation. In our work with complex organizations, we are familiar...
Finding answers
How important is your job? It’s an intrinsically intimidating question. It is the question that starts gnawing at your headspace in high school (or earlier). For me, I struggled to answer it honestly. Because there’s a prerequisite question: “What do you want to do with your life?” Or even, “What...
The (career) path less taken
There has been a definite shift in the way work is done now. Traditional, static teams populated by people in traditional, static jobs are few and far between. In their place is a move towards a more liquid workforce – dynamic teams populated by people with skills that fit the work to...
Debunking the myths of self-service
Despite the overwhelming amount of HR technology available on the market today, many organizations are still resorting to manual intervention to run their business processes. Even companies that have invested in technology fail to leverage its full potential, with recent surveys suggesting that only 29% of organizations use at least three-quarters of their HR tech capabilities, and...
If Not Now, Then When?

Developing Grit
One of my favorite words is grit. It evokes a person who embodies not only strength of character, but mental toughness. A person with grit keeps getting up, moving forward, and progressing towards their goals no matter what adversity puts in front of them. I think I like the word...
Fostering Curiosity
I come from a family of curious people. My dad has been dubbed "The King of Useless Knowledge" by family and friends because he knows a little bit about everything. He would have been a great phone-a-friend candidate on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. He didn't just magically acquire...
The Humans of Human Resources
When people ask me what I do for a living and I mention the term HR, I usually don’t receive a favorable response. How many of you think of HR and roll your eyes? I see you raising your hand out there. Why is that? The perception of many people is that HR "forces" employees to do those not-so-fun tasks like document issues, enter your own...
How To Eat an Elephant
I have a confession to make – I am a worrier and over-analyzer. I think about conversations from earlier in the week and wonder if I should have phrased something differently, or if someone meant something different than I thought. I will think about a meeting and if I could...
The Missing Link in the HR Organization
With the demands placed on HR to act as organizational gatekeepers, putting out fires, and responding to employee issues, reactivity is in the function’s DNA. As a result, despite the desire to act strategically, HR’s ability to strategically plan and manage complex projects and programs has been compromised. In short,...
