Corporate Capability Development

May 24-25, 2012 Grand Millennium Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“HR has come a long way since we rebranded from Personnel to Human Resources. Like all professions we continue to question how we can add more value.” says Ian Williams, Program Director at Henley Business School, UK. Here, Mr. Williams provides background for the Modern HR: Corporate Capability Development seminar in Kuala Lumpur, an exciting two-day seminar during which he will explore these themes in more detail. As we enter a new age heralded by exponential increases in data, global power shifts and economic instability, HR can and should take center-stage. “As colleagues redraft their agendas, so our HR expertise becomes a critical element in winning market share, increasing shareholder value and organizational and people energy. Have you seen a strategy that doesn’t rely on its people to build, develop and execute goals?” Mr. Williams asks. McKinsey developed their now-famous 7 S model illustrating the links with strategy. The 7S model is the basis for discovering, developing and enhancing organizational and people energy. “It may be time to add an eighth S: sustainability. We must look beyond our immediate need to satisfy profit targets. There’s slow but incessant pressure building to consider environmental and ethical responsibilities. HR has an added function as moral guardian. Who else can be the conscience of the CEO or leader? Who else can level with leadership and tell how it is to our colleagues?” he concludes.
