Co-created deliverables
The HR Navigator© is a process for co-creating an HR capability model that works for your organization. The outcomes are three deliverables that will help you deliver on your HR priorities, drive HR transformation, and fully align HR with the organizational goals.
HR capability model
Your HR capability model translates the HR and organizational strategy into the specific competencies needed within HR. Our 2025 HR Competency Framework for T-Shaped professionals will be the starting point.
HR personas
The individual competencies defined in the capability model will be translated into 3 – 6 desired HR personas. Each persona represents various HR roles that require a similar skill set.
Learning journeys
After performing a skills gap analysis between the desired personas and the existing HR population, we will build learning journeys that show exactly how people will be trained to develop the required competencies.
Three-step process
The HR Navigator© is a three-step co-creation process that takes about two months to complete depending on stakeholders’ availability.
1. Data collection
We start by developing a thorough understanding of your specific people strategy, HR operating model, and work architecture. Optionally assessments are used to benchmark current skill levels.
2. Model development
Based on the collected data and our 2025 HR framework, we create your HR Capability Model, the personas, and learning journeys. All fully tailored to your people strategy and business goals.
3. Implementation
The deliverables from the co-creation process are the starting point of the upskilling initiative. Behavior change is what you want to see. Our specialists will continue to offer support at every step to ensure the projects’ success.
