Create a highly effective outline strategy to maximise the returns on your people.

It’s a daunting new world for the HR Leader:

We are experiencing a period of unprecedented change. Consider this emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, block chain and workforce automation against a background of Brexit, the multigenerational workforce and economic uncertainty. Then there are additional pressures related to productivity, workforce mobility and the need for agility and flexibility. All are key issues that will shape work and the workplace – and thus, the way that we manage people - in the coming years.

Against this backdrop, existing people strategies might not be successful in addressing and benefiting from these issues and supporting the competitive advantage for the organisation.

At the same time there is a view that HR leaders struggle to create additional business value, because he/she is ‘boxed’ into transactional and administrative work, at the expense of maximising a strategic Return on People Assets.

Forward thinking HR practitioners know that shaping an effective people strategy requires an understanding of strategic management, organisational transformation and the generation and measurement of business value.
