  Sunghwa Moon asked in his recent comment on this blog about what would be a ‘consulting methodology’ for HR 2.0. This is what I use, although I’d describe it as a process rather than a methodology, as I’d only ever use it as a guide and would be unlikely to ever follow this exact flow. And I’d see it as something that an organisation can use itself, rather than needing a consultant to support (albeit I believe that the right consultant would be extremely useful in advising and supporting on this).

  • The process starts with identifying the required organisational capability, ie what sort of social, as well as human and organisational capital, is the business (or public sector organisation) trying to create? 
  • Because the HR 2.0 strategy is all about people, and people are different, I include a step here to think about the different talent groups or other segmentations that exist and need to be treated differently.

  • • a strategy map and scorecard can be developed to support the strategy, outlining the strategy’s objectives and measures, and how these relate across activity, outcome (ie social capital) and business results.  Various measurement tools, for example social network analysis, may be required to support this stage as well.
    • People.  I believe any HR strategy needs to touch on the key people in an organisation, not just on the processes that support them. 
    • Also, particularly importantly, what OD interventions can be made to directly impact on the way people are connecting with and building relationships with each other?
    • What changes need to be made to support a more open, collaborative approach
    • What internal changes within the HR (and learning, communication etc) function need to be made to ensure HR is able to effectively implement and support the new strategy?
    • How can management itself be redesigned to operate in a completely new and empowering way?
    • Note that web 2.0 plays only a very small part of this process
