HR Business Process Integration

The challenges facing HR communities and teams today are twofold. Firstly, the traditional HR service delivery model needs to change in order for the organisation to achieve its core objectives. Secondly, in the new 'information economy', innovation has replaced productivity as a key differentiator.

A new way of viewing and assessing the HR landscape is required, to ensure that integration happens in the right places and that appropriate changes may be made in specific areas to enhance the HR Delivery Model as a whole.

EPI-USE's Human Capital Architecture Framework ™ sets the myriad aspects of the HR organisation in the context of the Enterprise Architecture:

By contextualising the whole of the HR organisation in this manner, this framework delivers a highly productive blueprint for the swift, efficient and successful transformation of the organisation, or any part of it.

The EPI-USE HCAF delivers three key, best practice benefits:

  • A framework to understand the HR organisation's various elements and how they are related.
  • A clear understanding of the strategic alignment of the HR organisation with the extended enterprise.
  • A basis for the assessment and evaluation of the HR organisation's transformational ability (maturity) as a driving force of strategy deployment.

Since its launch in 2004, the EPI-USE HCAF has equipped HR, IT and process engineering teams with the necessary context to view, discuss and plan all aspects of HR service delivery design improvement and value optimisation.

The value of the EPI-USE HCAF lies in the knowledge creation aspect of the Human Capital Architecture. It delivers a strategy for creating a shared understanding of the techniques, information and processes that the HR organisation needs to use to enable the enterprise to achieve its overall strategic objectives.
