HR professionals are being challenged by the accelerated pace of change and niche technologies that are arising
HR is at the forefront in ensuring that businesses are enabling their organisation with the right talent to execute their vision and stay ahead of nimble competitors, according to Scott Rigby, head of digital transformation for enterprise solutions, APAC Adobe.
Consequently, this is a challenging time for HR professionals given the accelerated pace of change and niche technologies that are arising.
Rigby will be a panellist at the upcoming HR Tech Summit in Sydney and will be talking on the topic of Predicting the future – Will we still be talking about business disruption in 10 years?
“HR is working within the business and they don’t have the time in their day jobs to stay up to date with technology, likely disruption within the future workforce and changes in investment,” he told HRD.
“HR is agitating for change in the executive level to stay ahead, so events like the HR Tech Summit provide a deeper dive into thinking and help them take that back to their organisation and apply it.”
Rigby has 20 years of enterprise experience providing strategic advice to C-suite and senior executives in the areas of digital transformation, strategy, marketing, insights, and cloud computing.
What’s one piece of advice he would offer to HR professionals?
“Something I do is consolidate my media into an app like Flipboard or various others. The purpose is to keep track of what’s happening with the HR technology trend and stay on top of what’s happening in the industry."
At the HR Tech Summit, Rigby and his fellow panellists will also discuss:
• What technology should we be putting in place today to prepare for tomorrow?
• How far ahead can we really plan in today’s economy?
• What are the emerging technologies that will shape tomorrow’s workplaces?
• The top five disruptive trends in HR technology (and where they might lead us)
• How will the Internet of Things impact on HR in the future?
Scott Rigby will be speaking on the topic of Predicting the future – Will we still be talking about business disruption in 10 years? at the HR Tech Summit being held at the Hilton Sydney on 13 September. Click here for more details and to register.
