"We all recognize and experience the changing business context with technology (openAI), social, political, economic, climate, and lifestyle trends. As a result of these trends, people and organization issues are top of mind for business executives, boards, customers, investors, and regulators. These trends will require new assumptions about the future of work today and HR’s evolving role to respond to these assumptions. This keynote will highlight four emerging assumptions: connecting the inside to the outside (outside/in), harnessing uncertainty, personalizing work, and navigating paradox. We will explore how these assumptions require a new perspective on HR’s value contribution, moving from personnel to human resources to human capital to human capability. Participants will glimpse into the future of work and fold that future into today’s specific actions to flourish and thrive. Now is THE time for HR to rise to the opportunities ahead. "

" It’s a great time to be CHRO, as the people impact gap is the corporate performance gap. Many HR teams have hit a wall because their value is seen largely in managing cost and risk, not productivity, effectiveness and impact. Some CHRO’s are breaking out, and taking their teams beyond the silo’ed specialties and systems into a world where systemic problems are solved by business-first HR teams. These leaders are leveraging People Analytics to help people outside of HR make better decisions. There are plenty of things a CHRO can borrow from the CFO playbook, impacts revenue growth, retains critical talent, improves diversity and overcomes the obstacles to a data-driven HR team. "

"Together with the Chief People Officer at the LEGO Group, I spent much of the first quarter of 2021 thinking about whether traditional approaches to HR were still fit for purpose and what the function might need to change to serve the business’ needs more effectively. After explorative dialogues with other HR leaders and influential thought leaders, we decided to transform the LEGO Group’s People, Operations & Development function and unleash its inherent potential. The transformation was centered around three core drivers of future HR success, and each of them has now been put into practice. We have pivoted from centers of excellence to communities of excellence, developed digital product management capabilities within HR, and introduced a central pool of people partners that can be deployed in a flexible manner based on strategic priorities and business needs at any point in time. The transformation has required limited structural re-design within the People, Operations & Development function. Instead, we have focused on unleashing the potential of our setup by shifting ways of working within HR and with the business to achieve the responsiveness and impact that we set out to deliver."
