Today’s business landscape is rapidly changing. To be successful, HR leaders must navigate a complex world with increasing cost pressures, hybrid work models, and ever-evolving employee and stakeholder expectations. HR leaders must be agile, move fast, and work effectively to make informed decisions. This Cornell ILR School program is designed to provide your HR leaders with the capabilities and insights needed to successfully navigate the changing landscape and leverage internal and external expertise to address critical organizational challenges and drive business results.
Overview
This program is designed for a team of 4-6 HR leaders and is focused on building capability in business acumen, leveraging data for informed decision-making, and implementing change. Teams bring a strategic business challenge from their organization to the program and work to address it with guidance from a Cornell ILR faculty coach. The team leaves with:
- A tangible action plan for addressing their organization’s critical business opportunity or challenge
- Tools and frameworks for aligning HR to the business strategy to deliver business impact
- Effective practices for leveraging data insights and taking a consumer-driven approach to HR change
- An enhanced external network of peer organizations to exchange insights and innovative practices
Who should attend
An ideal team size consists of 4-6 HR professionals. Team members typically have 5-8 years of experience and are responsible for advising business leaders on critical workforce issues. Many organizations send a project-based team which includes a mix of HR Business Partners and COE Specialists, depending on the needs of the project. This is a hands-on learning program, and work builds from week to week, resulting in a team presentation during the final session. Team members should be available to attend the live sessions, coaching sessions with faculty, and actively participate in work with their team.
