Practical strategy
HCM modernization can feel like an adventure into the unknown. AXL has developed a way of thinking that can be helpful at any stage of HCM modernization.
The A3 method
Assess > Agree > Act
Assess: In a structured discovery phase, we learn about your objectives and identify needs. We’ve seen it all over the years, trust us.
Agree: Share findings, establish knowledgeable consensus among stakeholders, and define success. Give everyone realistic expectations, a clear path, and how to know when you’re done.
Act: Fill in knowledge gaps, provide additional structure, and prepare the organization for efficient and informed change. Begin the journey with either system implementation or a handoff of strategic assets.
