European HR Business Partner, 17th & 18th November, Barcelona with Special Guest Speaker: Dave Ulrich

David (born 1953) is a university professor, author, speaker, management coach, and management consultant. He is a professor of business at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and co-founder of The RBL Group. Dave has written 23 books covering topics in HR and leadership.

Dave emphasizes defining organisations through the capabilities they possess. His work has helped define and shape key capabilities such as change, learning, collaboration, accountability, talent, service, innovation, and efficiency. The outcomes of leadership and HR are the capabilities that an organisation possesses that deliver value to customers, investors, and communities.

It was Dave who invented the term ''HR business partner'' in his ‘’Human Resources Champions’’ book (1996). According to him, HR must assume more strategic roles within organisations so they can implement programmes that support the goals of the business.

Although he has been involved in large-scale research projects, most of his writing is characterized by synthesizing complex ideas into frameworks and tools that executives can use. He is a well-traveled speaker, working with groups of all sizes where he is known for engaging the participants, helping to translate the ideas into actions that work for them. His motto is that good teaching is not what he knows, but how his knowledge helps participants do what they do better.

“The ultimate test of HR and leadership is value created, or build on your strengths that strengthen others.”

The added value of HR during and following the crisis

Over the years there have been many developments in HR’s role and especially how to execute it. The outcome has often been a new way to organise HR to deliver.

Today, the increased competition for HR talent that can deliver true strategic value and a changing workforce has again brought HR as a Business Partner to the forefront. Successful HR Business Partnering helps improve service, reduce costs and most importantly add value in transformation phases such as the unconventional times we have seen in the past year.

Therefore, managing expectations, fostering a new business culture, influence at a senior level, establishing clear roles and think strategically is critical to accomplish your company’s objectives for Business Partnering. However, questions still remain, how to do it? How do you strike the balance as Business Partners, Change Managers and above all Employee Champions?

This conference will give you a clear perspective on how other companies are dealing with the HRBP model, the issues they have been facing as well as being able to network and go through your personal concerns.
