New Platform To Capture A Real-Time Picture Of Local Authority's Organisational Structure In Testing Phase
CHIEF EXECUTIVES AND HR DIRECTORS WILL SOON BE ABLE TO ACCESS A REAL-TIME PICTURE OF THEIR AUTHORITY'S ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND REMODEL THIS AT THE TOUCH OF THE BUTTON TO SEE HOW CHANGES AFFECT ITS OPERATING MODEL.
iESE is in the process of testing its new platform which takes organisational data from payroll and HR records. The modelling application will show the structure visually and with accompanying summary information, allowing scenarios to be visualised and different versions saved for comparison. The platform can also integrate with Active Directory software, which automatically updates the organisation's structure when anything changes, such as if someone leaves. Once a leaving date is present in the host system,
Active Directory automatically deletes the person, removing the risk of not having an up-to-date structure chart or 'ghost employees' who could otherwise potentially remain as headcount.
Several organisations are already lined up to both test and use it when fully operational. It will also, in time, become a central platform which iESE will add Apps onto - data from which will feed into the same central employee records. The first planned App which will link up to the platform is the Cultural Compass tool. This will take behavioural framework data and, by allocating this information to each employee record, will allow an organisation to roll the data up to see measures for each team, section, directorate, service line and for the overall authority to give both the current position and the direction of change for the culture of the organisation. "Being able to have a live view of the current organisation structure and costs to be modelled and understand proposed changes in real time to see what will happen to the bottom line is the holy grail for many organisations - particularly for HR and Transformation teams" said Chris Bond, Senior Business Consultant at iESE. "Even more exciting is our ability to quickly add cost-effective Apps and link this data into employee records. This will give a much fuller and real-time picture in one central place, replacing the need for multiple unrelated pieces of software trying, and often failing, to link up to a legacy system with out-ofdate and inconsistent data."
