Ochre House HR Directors Annual Symposium
Sponsored by K2 Performance Systems, Lumesse, Vero Screening and Knowledge Pool

This event for business leaders and senior HR professionals aims to give you an insight into the latest strategic thinking on re-defining business value and the likely winners and losers in the next decade.

Business value is changing. The rapidly accelerating pace of change and increasing competitive intensity means that the time is here when companies will justify their value beyond financial ratios and straight economics.

Bringing together keynote business speakers, economic commentators and Talent Management experts, this symposium will seek to understand this new business environment and build imaginative and relevant responses to it. We will look at talent centric organisations, define the blue print, the benefits to be realised and the new measures of success. Will your organisation be the next decade’s winner or loser?

Please contact Prashanie Dharmadasa if you would like to reserve your place or if you require further information.
