Breakfast Session: Business Transformation - London, UK

Wed, 13 May 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Every organisation needs appropriately skilled and well motivated people. It’s this ‘Human Capital’ that enables an organisation to deliver. But how do you know you are getting the best from your Human Capital?

Many organisations say “our people are our best asset”, but often the reality is different: outdated processes, tired working practices, corporate culture, inappropriate behaviours, inadequate technology and a myriad of organisational and structural barriers can restrict the value you get from your people.

The answer is to transform your Human Capital Management (HCM); HCM Transformation starts with the HR function, but it certainly doesn’t end there.

ROC is holding an intimate and interactive breakfast seminar exclusively for HR Directors, jointly hosted by Les Hayman, ROC’s Chairman and former Head of SAP Global Human Resources, and Steve Lungley, ROC’s Head of Business Transformation.

They will explain why HCM Transformation is a critical success factor for business today and explore how to go about it successfully. If you are an HR Director and would like to attend, please email breakfastseminar@roc-group.com
