HCM Roadmap – solution independent

Share on

HR Crowd’s HCM Roadmap Service helps organisations define and plan the implementation of their Human Capital Management (HCM) strategy. Our experts work closely with you to understand your business goals, assess your current HR processes and challenges, and create a tailored roadmap that aligns with your broader organisational objectives.

HR roadmap accelerators – a strategic approach to HCM planning

Our HCM Roadmap Accelerator goes beyond reviewing current HR processes. It considers a wide range of factors including:

  • Business initiatives and strategic priorities
  • IT strategy alignment
  • Process efficiency, maturity and consistency
  • Cost-effectiveness.

This methodology was developed by HR Crowd’s own specialists, drawing on insights gained from over 50 HCM transformation engagements across Australia. These real-world experiences have shaped our accelerators and templates, ensuring they are practical, proven, and adaptable to different industries and organisational contexts.

Our structured approach helps validate your current state and define future-state needs, taking into account your organisational culture, business drivers, readiness for change, and strategic goals. The result is a practical, achievable roadmap designed to drive high user adoption and deliver strong return on investment.

The below outlines the high-level solution evaluation framework, timeline and deliverables.
