Every global HR transformation promises simplicity—one system, one process, less friction. But simplifying at scale doesn't eliminate complexity; it just shifts it elsewhere. From process design to adoption challenges, from local variations to governance decisions—which can sometimes add an additional burden to local operations—the complexity simply shifts. Drawing on a live global SuccessFactors rollout, this session offers an honest look at where complexity goes when you try to simplify HR, and how to design for it intentionally rather than discovering it halfway through the process.
