About Tom Taliaferro

My purpose is to recognize unique strengths and talents so that others are inspired every day to achieve more than they thought possible. What can I do for you?I will work closely with your leaders, key stakeholders and project teams to achieve the “so what” out of your HR Business Transformation. Ensuring that HR is a strategic partner in achieving corporate business goals is critical to realizing the benefits of any major technology or transformational investment. By focusing on that HR strategy before the implementation project even begins, together we will realize the desired outcomes. With 32 years of HR consulting experience, I also know where the project pitfalls and land mines are lurking, and will not only help you avoid them, with the proper approach we can eliminate them altogether. As an experienced leader in the HR Consulting community, I work with clients embarking on disruptive change that can be triggered by anything from expiring HR vendor contracts, unsupported technologies requiring upgrades, pressures to quickly adapt because of mergers or acquisitions, or changes in leadership and strategy. Sometimes it is all of the above at once. Whatever the context, success requires proper vision – knowing what success is, followed by detailed planning, experienced resourcing, project accountability, and flawless execution. Having led multiple, global HR projects to successful outcomes, I will help ensure your journey achieves similar success.
