Is Your HR Operating Model Set Up to Win | Perry Timms | OD Change | OrgDev Podcast #96

Описание: Why has HR’s operating model barely changed in 25 years – while everything around it has?

In this episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we speak with Perry Timms about the uncomfortable truth at the heart of modern HR: we’ve spent decades optimising processes instead of redesigning how HR actually works.

As organisations evolve at pace – driven by digital transformation, new workforce expectations, agility, and shifting power dynamics – many HR functions are still operating with models built for a different era. Perry argues that incremental improvement is no longer enough. What’s required is a fundamental rethink of HR’s operating model, its role in organisation design, and its contribution to business value and societal impact.

We explore:
Why traditional HR structures struggle to support adaptive organisations
The limits of efficiency thinking in transformation work
Self-managed and freedom-centred work systems
The future of HR operating models
What “Better Business for a Better World” really means in practice
