Overview: The rise of the digital economy means organisations across industry sectors are having to fundamentally rethink their business models or risk becoming obsolete. This, coupled with technology-driven and demographic change, the shifting role of the organisation in society and changing expectations of followers, is making the practice of leadership ever more demanding. Are our models of leadership and methods of developing leaders delivering what’s needed in response to these trends? What do we have to show in our organisations for this investment and are we meeting the needs of tomorrow’s organisations?

Who is it for? CRF members, Those responsible for developing talent, in particular those concerned with making sure leadership development is fit for purpose for tomorrow’s organisations.

Location: IESE Business School, Munich.

Speakers: Geoffrey Matthews, researcher, consultant and coach. Professor Sebastian Reiche, IESE Business School.

Overview: Expatriation has long been used by organisations to grow global talent, with numbers of international assignees continuing to increase. However, with the quickening pace of change, political, economic and security uncertainties and, most importantly, the digital transformation of organisations, many of the strategic drivers of global mobility are being questioned. What options are available to organisations looking to build a global talent base? Do organisations still need staff to work overseas or will the availability of local staff, the cost of expats and communication technology render significant mobility obsolete?

Who is it for? CRF members, Business and HR leaders making strategic and operational decisions about global talent.

Location: Sea Containers, London.

Speakers: Rahaf Harfoush, Red Thread Institute of Digital Culture.

Overview: Technology has transformed the way that humans interact. The pace of technological change continues to accelerate, with new platforms, tools and networks emerging all the time. Human behaviour is  hanging too – but at a slower pace. There is an increasing gap between the technology we have developed and the systems, norms and rules our society needs to make sense of the behavioural change that accompanies technological advancement. Rahaf Harfoush will share her insights as a digital anthropologist, exploring the implications for us as humans and for the organisations we work in.

Who is it for? Those interested in the impact of technology and social media on work, society and relationships and their implications for organisations and relationships at work.

Location: Fanhams Hall, Hertfordshire.

Speakers: Nick Holley, CRF Learning.

Overview: The purpose of HR is not simply to ‘do HR’ but to build the capability of the organisation to deliver its strategy and create value. Building this capability as an effective HR Director requires a blend of technical HR, business and interpersonal skills. This programme will expand on this business centric approach to HR, enhancing your understanding of how HR delivers value. The programme will improve your capability in planning, implementing and evaluating HR initiatives and supporting you in managing key organisational relationships.

Who is it for? Attendees will typically be the Head of an HR Centre of Excellence / Expertise, Head of an HR Shared Services Operation or a Senior HR Business Partner. You will aspire to your first HR Director role, be new in position as HR Director or be looking to significantly increase your effectiveness and business impact as an existing HR Director.

Speakers: Dave Millner, Associate.

Overview: Through CRF and our sister organisation Strategic Dimensions, we have been listening to both HRDs and CEOs for 20+ years about what they want from an effective HR leader and their function. This gives us a unique insight into the role of a ‘boardlevel HRD’ and what differentiates the great from the average. Building on CRF’s exclusive research and experience, this programme delivers a highly-tailored learning experience; very different to the usual “here’s what we’re going to teach you” programme. The programme will help experienced HR professionals either take the next step in becoming a Group HRD, or become more effective having recently moved into the role. Participants will experience a highly-personalised and individual programme with the ability to shape the content of the course to suit development requirements.

Who is it for?Senior, in-house HR professionals who know about HR and their business but are looking to either progress to Group HRD or become more effective, having recently taken on the role. They are likely to already be the HRD of a business unit, region, function or a Centre of Excellence Leader (CoE) or newly in position as a Group HRD. In 2017 two newly-appointed Group HRDs, three HRDs and two CoE Heads attended the programme. There are limited enrolment slots in order to facilitate building a community that will establish trust and develop mutual support.
