HR Architecture is composed of
systems, practices, competencies and

10. Let’s build our shared
understanding:
If you had one question/
challenge/ statement
- what would it be?
Think by yourself and then discuss at
your tables
11. At your table:
So what – what now?
What does this mean for you in your
role in your organisation?
What can (or should) you do
different today?
