A REVOLUTION in HR
and Learning & Development
Lessons from Fearless HR
and some surprising places for the
Learning and Development Community
We have a very special meeting for you this month. David D. Forman, the author of FEARLESS HR, will explain how to remake HR and LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT to build something new.
Fearless HR is a best-selling, bold new book that examines the HR profession and provides a path forward for a function that has been often questioned and criticized. The story of Fearless HR is about overcoming past perceptions, seizing opportunities and driving business results. The book synthesizes over 100 research studies and provides 45 practical tools for streamlined implementation of HR's and L&D's future roles.
- Learn how L&D can solve the biggest problems facing business today... And some of the answers come from surprising places
- Five specific tools that will enhance L&D's contribution to the organization (and greatly enhance its perceived value to the company leaders)
Topics
- HR and L&D must confront the past before realizing the future
- HR and L&D professionals must think and act like business leaders
- HR’s and L&D's new purpose is to drive business results, PERIOD
- A cohesive purpose can lead to a cycle of value
Forman contends that HR and L&D must first confront the past before moving forward. Without addressing negative historical perceptions head-on, they will continue to be ingrained into corporate memory. Furthermore, Forman believes that HR and L&D have suffered from unclear responsibilities and "fuzziness" of purpose." He argues for a much stronger alignment to the business so that the business's scorecard is HR's scorecard.
Come hear the story of Fearless HR, and then Forman-with 25 years of experience in the training industry-will make the connections to the learning and development community. Five specific tools will be presented that enhance Learning and Development's contributions to the organization.
