HR Change Champion Conference

The most important HR Conference of the year: the 9th edition of the HR Club National Conference: HR Change Champion.

This year’s Conference is about CHANGE. The change for the better, the change we want, generate and shape, the change that turns into sustainable results. This fall, at the HR Change Champion Conference top speakers will discuss about the future of HR, about how to prepare and manage the evolution towards “the next step” in HR and how to become change champions.

2 keynote speeches

CHANGING HR AGENDA: HR FROM THE OUTSIDE IN 
Dave Ulrich, Professor of Business, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and Partner & Co-founder, The RBL Group

The HR profession has continued to evolve from an administrative and technical/functional focus to a strategic focus. For the last 20 years, strategic HR has been in vogue. In this view, strategy is a mirror in which HR sees and aligns HR practices to help deliver business results. We believe that the next step in HR is to focus on “HR from the Outside In”.  In this view, strategy is not a mirror, but a window through which HR professionals align their work to forces and stakeholders outside their organization.

HR TOOLS FOR A CHANGE CHAMPION
Dave Ulrich

HR TOOLS FOR A CHANGE CHAMPION
Dave Ulrich
,  Professor of Business, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and Partner and Co-founder, The RBL Group

The pace of change has accelerated in all parts of our lives.  It is easy to be overwhelmed by change rather than to anticipate and manage it.  In this workshop, we will discuss three levels of change and offer specific tools that HR professionals can use to become change champions.

Institutional change occurs in changing a company’s culture or way of working.  We will talk about how to diagnose a company’s culture through a virus assessment, about how to build a blueprint for culture change from the outside in, and about how to remove bureaucracy in the process of transformation.

Initiative change occurs as organizations put in programs, solutions, or other actions to manage change.  We will propose a pilot’s checklist logic that identifies key levers for successful change and show how HR professionals can help implement these key levers.

Individual change occurs when employees recognize and work to improve their personal behaviors.  We will review seven key factors of how to sustain a personal change.

This workshop will be oriented around specific tools and actions. It will help HR professionals become change champions who turn desired changes into sustainable results.

Changing HR Agenda: HR from the Outside In

Dave Ulrich, Professor of Business, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and Partner & Co-founder, The RBL Group

The HR profession has continued to evolve from an administrative and technical/functional focus to a strategic focus.  For the last 20 years, strategic HR has been in vogue.  In this view, strategy is a mirror in which HR sees and aligns HR practices to help deliver business results.  We believe that the next step in HR is to focus on “HR from the Outside In.”  In this view, strategy is not a mirror, but a window through which HR professionals align their work to forces and stakeholders outside their organization.

We will learn about the ability to use HR practices to deliver value outside the organization with seven assessments:

  • HR outside in: We have evolved HR to focus on external conditions and stakeholders.  We will review external conditions and specific stakeholders and how HR can respond to each.
  • HR value added through talent: We invest in and improve our talent through the formula: competence (skills) * commitment (engagement) * contribution (meaning and purpose).
  • HR value added through capability:  We recognize and create a culture that shapes the identity of our organization in the mind of our key stakeholders.
  • HR value added through leadership:  We answer three questions about leadership:
    • Why does leadership matter?  We build a business case for leadership. 
    • What makes leadership effective?  We build a leadership brand that aligns leadership behaviors to customer expectations. 
    • How to sustain leadership?  We help leaders do what they require.
  • HR transformation: We have transformed the HR function to operate efficiently and effectively to match business requirements both inside and outside the organization.
  • HR practices: We have innovated, integrated, and aligned HR practices in people, performance, information, and work to external business conditions.
  • HR competencies: We have identified critical competencies for HR professionals and invested in building them.  We will report in some detail the 2012 HR Competency Study (HRCS) showing which HR competencies are required for successful HR professionals.
Managing Across Generations - Compensation and Benefits for the Knowledge Economy

Tudor Havriliuc, Compensation and Benefits Director, Facebook

  • Today’s HR professionals manage multi-generational workforces in a highly global knowledge economy. Tudor will discuss how to maximize the value of compensation and benefit programs to employees while spending company resources efficiently
  • Employees from different generations have different work styles and expectations from their employers. There are key guiding principles that have proven successful among Silicon Valley companies Tudor worked for. Come hear which may be easily applied to other multinationals
  • Understanding what employees value most is a key step in determining the efficient allocation of comp and bens spend, creativity is another. New tools are making it easier to put a real dollar figure on perceived value of each comp and bens program
  • Attracting and retaining the best with compensation and benefits is only a small part of the equation- new studies show the leading factors in joining or leading a company are most often related to career development and performance management.
Building a Successful Compensation and Benefits Approach for an Engineering Driven Company

Tudor Havriliuc, Compensation and Benefits Director, Facebook

  • Tudor will discuss Facebook’s approach to attracting and retaining the best engineers in one of the most competitive global markets for technical talent
  • We’ll explore the competitive dynamics of high technology talent, in US and Europe: what drives demand for engineers and what is constricting supply
  • Dealing with big and small competitors and the challenges posed by start-up companies with low barriers to entry and lofty valuations
  • Short term and long term comp strategies for closing the best candidates
  • Lagging indicators and forward looking metrics you should track to ensure your comp spend is giving you the right return on your investment
  • Performance management systems that encourage high performance and reward for impact

We’re hoping this will be a highly interactive session, so come prepared with lots of questions!

Becoming a Digital Enterprise - the Challenges for HR Strategy

Zsolt Szelecki, CEE Human Resource Consulting Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Technology is empowering customers in their relationships with companies to a greater extent than ever before. But are companies really ready to handle such levels of interaction with customers and third parties? For one thing, dealing with technology-empowered consumers requires not just technology-savvy employees – but a whole new way of doing business. In all sectors HR leaders are being challenged to understand the implications for people and on the organisation - and act as a catalyst for the change that needs to come.  In essence - how can HR enhance digital operations culture?

Facing the generation challenges in Talent Management

Michael Geke, Partner and Head of People & Change, HR Management Consulting Unit, KPMG Germany

Strategic Workforce Planning delivers plenty of information about an organisations’ workforce; e.g. concerning age, over-and under supply, or the prevailing qualifications. With this information we can align the Talent Management approach according to business and workforce needs. Some examples:  

  • target group-specific employer branding concept
  • identification of key positions and development of career paths based on the generation idea and the workforce structure
  • acting through make or buy scenarios
  • development of incentive systems based on the requirements of each generation  
  • employee development through target-specific training programs
