What makes HR add value now and in the futureThis is a great time to be in HR! Why? Because in a world of increased social, technological, economic, political, environmental and demographic (STEPED) change, HR creates sustainable value if it recognises value is defined by the receiver more than the giver. We therefore need to ensure our priorities are not about HR but about the value others receive. This session will look at how we achieve this, defining our stakeholders both inside and outside the organisation, looking at trends around organisational capability and individual talent including digital HR as well as wellbeing and engagement. The session will also explore how roles in HR are all about relationships rather than role profiles which designing the right structures and competencies can achieve.w

SpeakerDavid Wilson CEO, The Fosway Group
The Truth About Digital HR, Technology and TransformationDigital transformation is high on the agenda in public sector organisations today. From attracting and acquiring new people, to developing and retaining the best talent — digitally-led strategies are now mission critical to HR. But where do you start? And how do you cut through the hype that surrounds everything from Employee Engagement, to GDPR, to Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics? Based on current research with 600+ HR leaders, David Wilson, CEO of Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR Analyst, will share practical insights that demonstrate the benefits of adopting next gen HR and learning technologies to kick start the shift to digital and prepare your organisation for the future of work.

Speaker David D’Souza, Head of Memberships, The CIPD
Future of Work - developing organizational cultureThe role of HR & OD in developing organisational culture; what the CIPD believes the Future of Work research will mean for employee engagement and career planning in a changing world and how adjusting your mindset to focus more clearly on outcomes can help HR make the difference it needs to for people and organisations.

SpeakerDr Henry Kippin, Director of Public Service Reform, West Midlands Combined Authority
Communicate to Collaborate – How partnerships are now vitalThe opportunity exists for a step change in the way we deliver public services within our places. Crucially, this requires new relationships across agencies - getting us beyond ‘deal making’ and into a grown up relationship that makes a possibility of system change through collaboration. A chance is emerging for our sector to improve the way public services are delivered within our places, but it requires a significant culture shift, a challenge which affects not just every employer but every employee.

A big conversation about collaborationKaren Dumain and Paul Taylor-Pitt from Do OD lead us in a big conversation about collaboration. Working in and across organisations requires considerable collaboration, but we don’t always give ourselves space to think and talk about what that means. We’ll create space to go deeper under the surface of what it means to collaborate. This experiential session will help us connect with each other in the room and give you the opportunity to translate your learning from today into practical action.

What is the recipe for successful organisational change?The essential ingredients for successful organisational change encompass people, process and systems, but how effectively do those leading HR, OD and the wider transformation agenda ensure they are working interdependently. Do OD and the Local Government Association invite practitioners to answer this question and consider the recipe for integrated change. This is a chance to explore the challenge and shape solutions that will make a real difference across the whole of the public sector.
