HR Success Model

The HR Success Model is a powerful tool that helps you to:

  • Understand your organisation’s business model
  • Illustrate the links between the work that HR does and business outcomes
  • Build a powerful dashboard linking HR and business KPIs to prove how HR drives value
    It has always been challenging to demonstrate the ROI of HR. HR’s work typically enables others to do their work and deliver results – for all of the organisation’s stakeholders.


The relationship between HR’s efforts and their impact is often an indirect one. HR people tend to understand this implicitly. However, in order for HR to build their credibility and reputation as partners and leaders in business success, we must make these links explicit.
We have developed the HR Success Model as a tool for thinking this through and illustrating HR’s value to business leaders.

How we deploy the Success Model in our work

Understand your organisation’s business model

The Success Model provides a practical thinking process to understand how any organisation works and what drives success. We use this in our consultancy, and in development programs to help leaders and managers think through where they can drive value in their roles.

Illustrate the links between the work that HR does and business outcomes

Even without data, a well-constructed Success Model is a powerful way to illustrate the links between HR’s work and business or customer outcomes. No two organisations are the same, and we enable you to discern your unique business model and illuminate where HR drives successful outcomes.

Build a powerful dashboard linking HR and business KPIs to prove how HR drives value

Add actual data to your Success Model and you have a compelling picture that demonstrates HR’s value. We can create a new dashboard for you, or assist you in ramping up your existing analytics, so that you can more effectively quantify the value of HR’s work.
