RE: KI Friday Factoid 01/22/10: What Can HCM Software Vendors Learn From Target?

Thanks for your comment Scott. I agree. Web 2.0 is offering vendors more flexibility in making their applications habitable by humans. Vendors that embrace the consumer-web are heading in the right direction.

Here, here, Andy.

Usable is such a critical word in this discussion, and I love your correlation between Target’s design-delivery philosophy for consumer products and the need for a change in philosophy for business applications. Traditional business applications were designed primarily for data capture and retention—usability, or even being useful for the end-user, was not even an afterthought. Today, however, two important things are true: the consumer Web has changed user expectations for the simplicity, flexibility, and usefulness of applications AND business applications are increasingly tailored to meet the needs of every employee in the business, not just the back office.

Today when we build new applications, we have the opportunity to apply the best consumer design patterns. We can optimize our interaction and visual design for established ‘surfing’ behaviors. The result for Workday is that our customers are able to deliver more relevant information to their workforce and distribute to employees the responsibility of completing HR tasks and operations through our Manager and Employee Experience. Continuous attention to design, usability, and utility—with EVERY user-type in mind—leads to higher adoption, more effective user sessions, and ultimately a more accurate system-of-record for our customers.

Takes the concept of when you have lemons, make lemonade to another level. An excellent lesson to share with the GC HR team.
