Episode notes
Decision Friction From Data Stitching
- Managers now spend hours stitching data before making people decisions, creating decision friction that reduces agility.
- HiBob research found 60% of managers spend 3+ hours gathering data and only 2% have a unified HR–Finance view.
Siloed Cycles Undermine Fairness
- Fragmented HR and finance cycles force managers to rework decisions and harm perceived fairness.
- Example: performance ratings remade to fit compensation thresholds breed questions of fairness and repeated reviews.
Design Systems For Cross-Functional Use
- Build systems for the organization, not just the buyer, to reduce manual rework across functions.
- Kenneth warns tech is optimized for HR or Finance buyers, forcing managers to 'stitch' outputs by hand.
