    HR is under attack in the media and boardrooms as well. The charge is that HR has not delivered on its efforts to become a strategic business partner, one than can play a meaningful role in solving more imminent business problems. A growing chorus of critics are saying it's time for HR to step up its game or be replaced. In this program, Todd Grierson, HR evangelist at BambooHR, and Peter Swaniker, founder of Ximble, look at the future, using the "business model canvas" approach as a lens. You’ll hear an all-new approach to HR that you can use to wake up your department and your organization to the real value HR can provide.
