The world at large is ever changing, and our organizations and employees are doing all we can to keep up. The days of going off to a strategic planning retreat, planning a 5-year vision and executing it are gone. We now operate in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). What do you as the leader have to do to adapt to this new and ever changing world and competing business priorities?
We will identify what causes a VUCA environment and how you can identify where your organization is on the continuum. Then we'll give tips to address your situation - whether Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous or all four. Looking through the lens of HR, we review the common needs of your workplace today and give tips and suggestions to align HR with the changes in the organization, ensure that you gain the resources you need, and establish yourself as the visionary team member that is helping to drive your organization forward.
During this session presented by Lori Kleiman and Deb Calvert, you’ll learn:
- What is the VUCA world—and why it’s important for you as an HR leader to understand how it operates
- How to evaluate the areas of HR to be impacted by changes
- Establishing and advocating for needs of HR and your employees
- Aligning processes with the new initiatives in your organization
