The ACS QLD Branch hosted a thought-provoking panel discussion on Modernising Payroll: Human & Tech Challenges, proudly sponsored and curated by Kx2 Management Group.

The session explored the complexity of implementing new payroll systems, highlighting the strategic, technical, human, and vendor challenges involved in digital transformation. With insights from a CTO, Digital Transformation Consultant, HR Specialist, and vendor representative, attendees gained practical takeaways and cross-disciplinary perspectives—valuable for tech professionals and leaders alike, as well as those working across People & Culture functions.

Key takeways

·        Make sure there’s a problem to solve first and define it well.

·        Listen to your people across all departments and ultimately have one key decision maker.

·        Treat the digital transformation as a people transformation project first and foremost.

·        Think about it from user perspective, and then work backwards

·        Start with the end in mind with a strategic business lens.
