SESSION DETAILS

 

Drawing on the data and insights from our research, as well as our experience working with organizations across Canada, we will explore the area of “leadership development” from an angle that has not traditionally been a focus of HR and OD – the role of the Board in building leadership capacity in the organization. 

Strategic HR leaders have known for some time that building strong leadership capacity positions one’s organization to effectively respond to uncertainty, complexity, drive engagement and ultimately achieve sustained growth and profits. Recent Knightsbridge research explores the accountability of the Board in ensuring the organization has sufficient leadership capacity to generate an effective strategy and successfully execute on that strategy.  

So, how can Senior HR leaders leverage this important accountability of the Board to make the right investment to design and implement the practices needed to build leadership capacity? What does the Board expect from heads of HR?

This session will answer those questions through its focus on the role of organizational Boards and how HR can leverage their unique relationship with Boards to shape the future of their organization.
