The Value of Difference

Author: Denis Barnard

Denis Barnard is an independent HR consultant, author and commentator with many years’ experience working in HR. He advises organisations on the selection and implementation of HR tech & payroll systems and has written extensively about the changing relationship between people, processes and technology. He is the author of ‘Mission: HR’, ‘Reverse Engineering HR’ and is the co- founder of HRSoftwareFinder.com , an independent HR technology selection platform with its own rating system. Recently, Denis has focused particularly on the rapid transformation of HR technology through artificial intelligence. His work explores not simply what AI can do, but how organisations should decide where it belongs in HR tech and beyond, how its claims should be tested, and what governance and human judgement need to sit around it. He continues to challenge HR professionals and tech providers to think more commercially, critically and practically about the future of the profession.
