The Human Capitalist has asked the Infuser what our thoughts are on the Ceridian sale to private equity this morning. Here are a few thoughts that all Ceridian customers should be pondering this morning:
Dont panic; these types of transactions rarely result in immediate and/or drastic change. * Ceridian still has a very strong and large customer base that private equity firms will want to protect. * Work on creating your overall HRMS strategy as soon as possible. Our bet is that Ceridian will continue to focus on the BPO space and not focus on the talent management space nearly as much as is needed by its customer base. We may be wrong about this, but just a bet. Plan on what talent management suites you can add on to Ceridian as soon as possible. Contact [mailto:info@knowledge-infusion] for help on our jumpstart service. * Work with your Ceridian account leader and ask for briefings as soon as possible related to management changes and plans.
Ceridian Employer Services has a rich heritage in this space and knows what its customers need and are looking for. As in any acquisition, time works to solidify direction and we recommend you give this a bit of time to work itself out.
The acquisition continues to demonstrate the changes in the market. No single document, analyst report or opinion works for all organizations. Each organization around the world is different in their needs around core HRMS, talent management, hosted/on-premise, etc.
It all points back to strategy and why Knowledge Infusion was created. This market will continue to change at a pace faster than today and the more prepared you are to be agile with your solutions and choices, the better prepared you will be when your boss comes to you this morning and says:
"Now what"
This morning your response should be, lets see what happens over the next few weeks and not panic and going forward, we will create a comprehensive strategy for solutions into the future.
Another infusion of knowledge...Human Capitalist, agree? disagree? Any other tips?
