Hr Trends With Game Changers, Presented By Sap

Today’s buzz: HR. Reality check. Your CEO may be proudly telling the world that “talent” is a top priority on the company’s agenda. But when your business managers meet to rank the strategic importance of departments, does HR rate lower than Sales, Marketing, Finance, or IT – or even come in dead last behind them all? The experts speak. Jill McGillen, Next Turn, “Ask Jill” Work Advice Columnist: “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world” (N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society 1989 film, character John Keating). Simon Mitchell, DDI: “All advertising is unwanted, so if you're going to crash the party, bring some champagne with you” (Bob Thacker, OfficeMax Senior VP, Marketing and Advertising). Brigette McInnis-Day, SAP: “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken” (Oscar Wilde, author and playwright). Join us for a candid discussion on Business Models: The HR-Led Business.
