With the unprecedented pace of change, organisations today face a common but complex challenge: how to continuously and sustainably develop future-minded leaders whilst embedding a resilient mindset in the company culture.

Gone are the traditional critical capabilities of the past; success now depends upon leaders recognising and interpreting new information and being ready to adapt whilst developing their teams to do the same. And people must have the support and fortitude to be resilient in the face of constant change and challenges. 

According to a recent study by Gartner, 60% of HR leaders are prioritising leader and manager effectiveness in 2023. As the work environment evolves, so too must the skills required to thrive. An agile and resilient mindset is vital to sustaining personal, team, and business success.

Join your peers to discuss new leadership and learning imperatives. 

Topic 1: Future-Minded Leadership Development

  • How do you currently measure leader effectiveness, and how frequently do you collect employee feedback?

  • How do you define leadership-specific skills at your organisation? Where would you rate your leadership bench today on a scale of 1-10?

  • The role of HR faces a constantly shifting landscape. What is your approach to building a culture of resilience? What do you do well, and what areas do you need to improve?

Topic 2: Creating a Coaching Culture 

  • Rapid digitalisation has accelerated the pace of changing skills needs. How is your organisation continuously equipping leaders with the skills they need to perform?

  • The hybrid working environment has presented new challenges to helping employees acquire and apply the skills they need. How are you supporting learning and development at scale while dealing with a range of circumstances?

  • As a result of these moving parts, what impacts are you seeing on your workforce?

18:45 - 19:15  Networking Break

19:15 - 20:30  Summary Discussion & Dinner

20:30 - 21:30  Social Hour
