# Redefine the HR Function Around Talent Architecture

**Action:** Shift HR focus from policy administration to workforce analytics and human-AI collaboration design.

**Details.** Shift the CHRO and HR department's focus away from operations, policy administration, and traditional performance management. Reallocate resources toward **workforce analytics, AI-enabled talent assessment, dynamic skills architecture, and designing the workflows for human-AI collaboration** — building out [[concept-talent-systems-architecture]] and realizing [[claim-chro-evolution]].

**Expected outcome:** An HR function that engineers business performance by optimizing the interface between people, data, and machines.
