This document summarizes interviews with three HR leaders - Anne Stevens of Rio Tinto, Nigel Sullivan of Wincanton, and Paul Pagliari of ISS UK - about the challenges their businesses face due to the economic downturn. Some of the key challenges mentioned include reduced demand impacting revenues and profits, retaining customers and market share, effective internal and external communication, and developing talent pipelines despite slower hiring. For HR specifically, the challenges involve supporting cost-cutting while retaining key talent, challenging business leaders to enact changes, and providing leadership through the uncertain period.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
