hi thomas,
I think the comparison of an HR-IT system with a flower is a valid idea. I was thinking about the whole in total and I like to compare the issue with getting a baby and becoming parents. HR IT needs a strategy and it takes time to grow, sometimes more than 40 weeks. Finally the strategy has to be born which is connected with pain. The baby has everything you need to stay alive, Processes and a data model (feet) you cab stay on. Arms and fingers to run the processes. A Heart and organs to get everything alive and to digest e.g. mergers and acquisitions. A to make it unique it has it’s own brain to direct (e.g. for governance issues).
Finally you need the parents (governance) and grant parents (sponsors, top management) to keep it alive.
Coming back to your metaphor, which flower the baby holts in it’s hands is not so important, more important is, does it makes the baby happy and does it fits the needs – both extremes the cactus and the rose can injure.
