If you are a leader at any level, you already understand your people are your greatest asset. Now it's time to upgrade our approach to motivating Human Beings 3.0 from the field of brain science, at the intersection of communication, emotion and motivation.

In Part 1 of this 2 part presentation, Jeremy Tozer examined a clear strategic role for HR in enabling the creation of the conditions for organizational success. In particular Jeremy examined the role of HR / learning and development in:

• Developing and sustaining organizational leadership capacity as the primary source of strategic competitive advantage.
• Enabling effective development and execution of business strategy and the leadership of change and transformation —this includes ensuring both work alignment and people engagement.

In this second part, Jeremy will give a quick recap of Part 1 and then examine in detail a proven approach to developing this form of collective leadership capability, an approach which also concurrently develops individual leadership behavior and emotional intelligence —an approach which is guaranteed to more than pay for itself with a measurable financial return on investment.

This will be illustrated with detailed and ROI quantified case studies from Cisco, and consulting assignments from across the USA, Asia, Europe and Australasia with other clients such as ABN AMRO, Pfizer, Philips and MCI.

Today’s companies are placing a much higher emphasis on the ability to be creative and innovative in order to move ahead in this economy. They are eagerly looking at ways people, tools and techniques can spark a rebound that gives them a competitive edge. Making innovation and creativity a key cultural value is a goal of any highly effective organization. HR can play a crucial leadership role in helping to get there.

In this lively session, participants will learn how to increase the creative intelligence of their organizations in order to stay ahead of the competition. Participants will come away with new insights, fresh perspectives, and actionable steps to make creativity and innovation meaningful cultural values within their own organizations.

This session will focus on inhibitor/enablers from which to provide greater use and value from assembled talent, leverage HR resources,lower risk,and predictive decision making with better outcomes. HR can now provide real-time, actionable data for more reliable forecasting of costs and resource utilization for executive decision makers. We are not focusing on improving RPO, ATS or other similar HR technologies, though there is certainly room for improvement of all components of the applicable HRIS.

Yes, there is risk, but if it can be measured it can be managed.
