4 steps to simplify complexity in the workplace

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

In this new article, HRD thought leader Dave Ulrich explores why it’s so important for business and HR leaders to cut through the noise if they are to simplify complexity for their organisations.

Simplifying complexity “refers to the ability to sift through the voluminous amounts of information and change and to focus on issues of greatest importance. Part of this competency focuses on thinking critically rather than simply responding to the newest shiny object or rushing after the latest HR fad.”

All the best,

Amy Kirkham – Senior Content Editor, HRD Connect
