Change management, two words often used on management level. They imply what top management wants to hear: the transformation from an actual state to a desired future state. Change has become the epitome for the right thing to do – even though it not always is. Often the desired future state is nothing more than a product of a manager’s preferences or way of thinking in general. It doesn’t necessarily reflect reality. The problem occurs, when this particular manager is in charge and puts too much belief in his own imagination.

Absolutely, strategic HR stands for many things, but certainly not for manual report generation. The creation of survey-rounds and reports belongs to the past and doesn’t fit into a strategic approach. Evaluation tools enhance strategic HR in general. Though, if the processes are not automated, even strategic HR can slacken more than it accelerates. Manual report generation is very time-consuming and discouraging. Not a very good base given that reports exist to cultivate development.
