Summary

The world of work is being reinvented to create more agile, digital-ready firms that thrive in today’s dynamic environment.

As organisations accelerate their drive to digital, HR leaders must emerge as change agents and role models in digital transformation. HR leaders are expected to challenge the status quo, lead in new ways, and reimagine the HR function itself with digital strategies at the heart.

This is HR’s moment to lead. We must move quickly, navigate turbulent times and usher in the organisation of the future. The CHRO of the future is expected to co-pilot the business and transform organisations to be future-ready.

The Future CHRO programme is a 6-month blended programme designed to equip experienced HR professionals to become the CHROs of the future. It aims to upskill HR leaders with the state-of-the-art in knowledge, skills, and big-picture perspectives to manage effectively through phenomena such as “the great re-invention/ resignation”.

Participants will also gain advanced insights and ready-to-use frameworks across topics like business strategy, competitive dynamics, business financials, technological scenarios, next-generation organisation designs, and workforce planning. Other important topics include talent forecasting models, AI/ML-led talent acquisition strategies, design thinking-based employee experience plans, and most importantly, competencies and skills to advise and influence CEOs and other C-suite stakeholders.
