Every global HR transformation promises simplicity — one system, one process, less friction. But simplifying at scale doesn't eliminate complexity; it relocates it. From process design to adoption challenges, from local variation to governance decisions, adding sometimes additional burden in local operations — the complexity just moves. Drawing on a live global SuccessFactors rollout, this session offers an honest look at where complexity goes when you try to make HR simple, and how to design for it deliberately rather than discover it mid-journey.
