Interview: Kristen from Birchbark

Dr. Steve caught up with Kristen Frykman (LinkedIn Profile) from Birchbark Consulting. One of the pillars in a good organization is Talent Management. Kristen is typically brought in during the implementation stage to help with successful deployments with HR solutions.

A few rules to success in implementation include:

  • Don’t over promise, under deliver
  • Be up front - this is going to be tough
  • Set Service Level Agreements up front
  • Communicate, communicate, communicate

    Kristen gives some great advice - CEO’s in today’s world typically have a top 5 goal of”Excellence in performance management” - with that it requires Excellence in Tools. There are quite a few other nuggets in the interview, so be sure to give it a listen if you are preparing from a HR or Talent Management system implementation.
