RELEASE
For

release:
Thursday,

2014
Second
Opening
of
a
Practical,
Practitioner-­‐Led
HR
Forum
in
London
this
October,
covering
Change
&
Transformation,
Culture
&
Leadership,
Technology
&
Analytics
Interactive
and
technology-­‐enabled
conference,
with
senior
HR
and
business
transformation
leaders
from
around
Europe,
opens
session
for
the
second
time
The
HR
Change
&
Transformation
2014
conference
is
a
gathering
of
senior
HR
professionals
and
executives
in
all
industries
and
from
all
regions,
to
discuss
new
ideas
and
new
practice
in
some
of
the
most
current
and
critically-­‐important
areas
of
HR
today.
These
are:
Change,
Culture
&
Leadership,
Talent
&
HR
Transformation,
and
Technology,
Tools
&
Analytics.
Taking
place
in
London
on
15-­‐16
October,
this
forum
is
for
HR
professionals
who
are
involved
in
change
initiatives,
organisational
restructuring,
M&A
and
other
kinds
of
upheaval.
It
is
for
organisations
that
are
facing
the
challenge
of
a
multi-­‐
generational
workforce
or
a
multi-­‐cultural
corporate
structure,
and
for
HR
departments
with
an
executive
board
that
is
demanding
efficiency
and
business
alignment,
and
a
tech-­‐savvy
workforce
that
demands
an
updating
of
the
business
culture
and
operations.
So
much
is
happening
in
business,
as
the
economic
recovery
continues
and
the
corporate
landscape
sees
mergers
and
expansion
across
previously
disparate
territories
and
demographic
groups,
and
HR
is
in
a
powerful
position
if
it
can
make
the
right
moves
and
secure
a
pipeline
of
high-­‐performing
talent
in
an
emerging
generation.
This
event
brings
together
Chief
HR
Officers,
Vice-­‐Presidents,
Senior
Directors
and
other
executives
and
leaders
to
discuss
the
challenges
they
face,
the
solutions
they
have
built
and
the
projects
they
have
overseen.
It
will
mix
together
high-­‐level
presentations
with
interactive
workshops,
panel
debates
and
peer-­‐to-­‐peer
problem
solving
groups,
and
allow
participants
to
share
their
experiences,
challenges
and
solutions
with
a
broad
range
of
like-­‐minded
professionals.
The
three-­‐stream
format
will
allow
people
to
construct
their
own
programme,
based
on
their
own
personal
and
professional
interests
and
priorities,
and
move
freely
between
rooms
and
topics
throughout
the
two
days.
Through
this
combination
of
breadth
and
flexibility,
this
event
will
appeal
to
a
wide
range
of
HR
professionals
as
well
as
business
transformation
specialists
and
business
leaders,
with
different
focuses
but
with
the
same
forward-­‐thinking,
progressive
mentality
towards
people
management.
Globally-­‐recognised
though-­‐leaders
like
Stacia
Sherman
Garr
(Bersin),
Bernard
Marr
(API),
Annicken
Rod
Day
(Cisco),
Nita
Clarke
(Engage
for
Success)
and
Sharlyn
Lauby
(HR

will
lead

sessions
and
panel
debates.
