Empowered & Equipped: Turning HR Technology Into a Strategic Asset

School HR teams are navigating increasing demands—often with legacy systems, limited implementation capacity, and uneven confidence in technology use. This interactive session goes beyond tool selection to uncover the deeper, often-overlooked factors that determine whether HR technology truly delivers value in public school districts. Drawing from real-world experience and leadership insights from districts of all sizes, we’ll explore the barriers that commonly derail implementation efforts—such as skill gaps, process misalignment, and resistance to change—and how to overcome them. Participants will gain practical strategies for aligning technology with district strategic goals, building internal capacity, and fostering a culture of adaptability and continuous improvement. Designed for seasoned leaders, this session offers actionable takeaways to drive long-term success by transforming technology adoption efforts from short-term operational fixes into strategic levers that accelerate workforce development and district-wide impact.
