Keynote Speeches

Keynote Speech : Implementing strategy – the people connection
The statistics show that most organisations fail not because of a lack of strategy but because they are unable to implement the one they’ve got. So if you thought writing your strategy was the hard bit, think again.

With 18 years experience working in and for in a range of Blue Chip companies, Guy reaches the parts that other speakers can’t and asks "why can't organisations implement strategy – is it a lack of ability, a lack of interest or simply that they are focusing on the wrong things?"

For Guy, the answer is simple – organisations don't walk the talk and place people at the heart of their enterprise.People implement strategies, people bring long term sustainable competitive advantage and people enable an organisation to meet short term objectives and ensure long term prosperity.

No dry academic, Guy sprinkles his talk real-life anecdotes and illustrations that will bring a smile to the most hardened manager's face and his persuasive arguments will convince even died-in-the-wool spectics.

Keynote Speech : Building a world class HR team
Transforming Human Resources into a proactive, business focused function that deserves a place at the boardroom table is not just a matter of introducing new job titles, creating a Shared Services team or 'becoming strategic'.

Research has shown that people and roles matter, not organisational structure.  HR has called itself a 'partner' for too long without understanding what it means.

It's time to rethink about what HR can bring to an organisation.  Guy proposes a radical rethink about the role of HR.  He believes that HR should start again by looking at what the organisation needs and not improving what it currently gets.   

Based on both extensive academic and practical research from clients and participants on his unique and highly interactive workshops, Guy introduces a series of innovative HR organisation and capability models for organisations in the 21st century.

With large doses of humour based on 18 years of experience and the many pitfalls he has already stumbled into, is this a speech that your HR team can afford to miss?
