Necessities
Provide benefits; administer policies; recruit talent

Can’t always predict what is going to happen
Employees quitSafety or other crisesPerformance issues

HR is often started in companies to deal with necessities
What if a company developed a HR position to leverage potential?

WHAT IF WE (HR) COULD CHANGE THIS?
What if we could become more adaptable?
Make what we do relevant to the organization we work for?

Not just you the person (HR), but the pole (system)
