Integrate or Die: Improving the world of Human Resource Technology
Our Inspiration
The mission of Integrate or Die is to advance the field of HR Technology by promoting development and adoption of effective, innovative, and differentiating solutions. This includes discouraging people from wasting time and resources on solutions that do not deliver meaningful business impact, reflect operational realities, or address authentic employee needs and expectations. The roots of the show trace back to an article Steve wrote called “No One is Good at Everything” and an analysis Jordan did that found many HR Technology vendors were building multiple versions of the same solutions while other major business challenges were being ignored.

Why Listen to Integrate or Die
If you want to learn how to do something, a good place to start is to ask someone who has already done it. That’s what this show is about. Each episode of Integrate or Die features an in-depth discussion with an HR Technology leader with extensive hands-on experience building and deploying technology solutions to solve different business challenges. We asked each of them the same set of provocative questions including What existing HR technology solutions are you surprised are not used more widely? What HR technology solutions should never have been built at all? What HR technology solutions do you wish someone else would build? and What advice do you have for people seeking to build a career in the HR technology field? Along the way we gain valuable insights and lessons learned as they share stories both about the things that worked and the things that did not go quite as intended.
