Nordic CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

With the dawn of COVID-19, the pace of digital transformation projects across organizations and industries collectively skyrocketed in a race to adapt to the new normal. When change is the only constant, agility becomes the silver bullet businesses need to survive and thrive. To open the day, Kerstin Wagner, Head of TA at Deutsche Bahn, and Dimitri Boylan, CEO of Avature will be discussing how talent acquisition teams can remain agile and innovative during these uncertain times.

Data has never been so important for businesses to enable them to make faster, better decisions during times of uncertainty and HR leaders have a wealth and breadth of metrics at their disposal. When it comes to talent analytics, how do you ensure its best utilised to create a resilient organisation fit for the future?

In this session, you'll discuss:

• The most important metrics to assess performance
• Empowering a data literate HR organisation
• How to turn data into decisions that drive the business forward

Many organisations have been managing two crises during this pandemic: the crisis of health and safety and that of the employee experience. The decisions HR leaders make at this time will have a long-term impact on how their organisations define the employee experience of the future. 

In this virtual roundtable discussion, you’ll explore: 

• Implementation and management of communication and collaboration strategies to bring your workforce together
• Why you need to update your employer brand in response to the pandemic
• Early lessons learned on employee and manager behaviour during this disruption

In times of economic uncertainty and global disruption, HR has the power to guide enterprise strategy into reality. To do this, it is critical that HR leaders reinvigorate their workforce, help employees feel invested in the C-suite’s vision, and foster an environment that sets the organisation back on a course of engagement, entrepreneurship and innovation.

In this virtual boardroom, discuss how to:

• Enable a resilient workforce that can keep up with the pace of change
• Get buy-in from employees beyond engagement scores and surveys
• Co-design with employees to meet their needs, and attract and retain talent needed for the future

CHROs play a critical role in driving digital initiatives that support fundamental shifts in the workplace, the work itself and permanent states of agility.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Business needs, products and systems through a digital lens
• Aligning the digital agenda with strategic plans
• Plot next steps in your company’s digital journey

2020 forced a new way of working for most organisations overnight. To survive through these times of change, an organisation-wide transformation is necessary and CHROs play a critical role in driving digital initiatives that support these fundamental shifts. What impact will these trends have on your workforce and how can you enable your people to adapt?

Attend this keynote to close the day as Lena Bjurner shares:

• Trends to watch in 2021 and beyond
• The evolving role of HR in the digital age
• Digital-first strategies that address workforce design, HR processes, and talent and performance management

An informal and interactive opportunity for you to network with peers in small groups.

HR executives know that leading with care, developing deep human connections and building community can all create a sense of belonging. Today, they need to do this while balancing the employee experience needs of people working from home and in offices. How do you provide clarity, inspire leadership and build resilience when most workforces will remain distributed for the foreseeable future? Is your organisation ready to evolve its culture to meet the needs of employees and build a sense of belonging?

In this boardroom, you will explore:

• How leading with care, connection and community can evolve your culture and create a sense of belonging
• How to manage the ever-changing workforce needs as well as communications
• Why leading with empathy and transparency is key for HR managers
• Using data to measure employee sentiment and how to build employee resilience and respond to changing business needs

The need for purpose-led leadership has shone through in recent months. With CHRO peers, benchmark your own leadership development strategies and discuss:

• How to grow skills such as candour, empathy and humility in your leaders to continue to drive teams forward and improve business resilience
• Increase self-leadership amongst the workforce 
• Fresh approaches to the use of technology for virtual leadership

Meet virtually for in-depth conversations with your colleagues

Conducting business virtually makes it more challenging to meet and network with like-minded peers. During this time of disruption and uncertainty, it’s become even more critical to collaborate with peers who are facing the same challenges.

Now, we are bringing you the opportunity to set up 1-to-1 meetings in a private, virtual setting with community peers directly after the Virtual Executive Summit.

• Peer-to-Peer meetings are 25 minutes in length, giving you the chance for more personal interaction and in-depth conversation with your fellow Nordic CHRO Virtual Executive Summit peers.
• All conversations are private and will not be recorded
• Meet up to 3 peers based on your shared interests or priorities
