Event Overview
As an HR professional, do you often consider how you can make a decisive impact on business decisions and strategy? Do you sometimes ponder how you can gain more trust from your CEO? Do you ask, "how can I make the HR function build influence and credibility in executive management?"
For more than 25 years, HR professionals and the wider HR community have been trying to answer the question: "What really does the CEO want from his HR team?"
This question remains critical for every organisation because you have an excellent opportunity to play an integral role in leadership and business strategy as an HR professional. Despite this, most HR professionals don't know how to best align with their CEOs or play strategically valuable roles in driving significant business results.
Generally, the HR function is seen as an in-house administrative provider, compliance-focused and simply transactional. In summary, they are seen as:
- Being more concerned about employees adhering to processes and policies than the business results.
- Being inwardly focused and creating tools that only work for them.
- Lacking business acumen and industry knowledge.
However, your position should be the exception. The success of your HR function should be down to your ability to be a problem solver, connecting the dot between transactional activities and business strategies. The impact of this success should be visible in your organisation's business results.
As a result, transformational HR professionals are deliberately keen on learning, adopting and implementing pragmatic strategies that will position the HR function to build organisational impact and influence.
To truly make the HR function invaluable to the CEO and drive an organisation-wide impact, you need to envision and demonstrate a nuanced understanding of your CEO's biggest business problems and take the lead in providing solutions that position the organisation for sustained success.
The question you may then ask is, "how?"
How can you operate at a level that optimises the organisation and not just the processes? How can you drive impact by providing macro-solutions to core business problems? How can you bring a viewpoint to the boardroom that gains influence and positions the HR function as a business driver?
These are some of the salient questions we will answer at this event. We will share practical steps on how the HR function can be a key player in business strategy, and how you can build influence by bridging the gap between HR activities and the mission of the C-Suite.
At the end of the session, you will:
- Learn the practical steps to transform the HR function and position for significant positive impact on business results.
- Know how to reinvent HR: move from transactional to transformational.
- Step out of the world of processes and redefine HR against business strategy.
- Be equipped with the necessary steps to become a truly credible and influential force in the business.
