"What HR has to remember that it is selling its ideas and services to the organisation just as much as the organisation is selling its ideas and services to its customers. If HR doesn’t think this way it often ends up going down a process driven bureaucratic and risk averse approach or an over complicated “best practice” route." - Chris Roebuck
