Why the HR Ahead Project?

These are exciting times for HR. We are redesigning the organization of the future. How does this influence the way we manage people, workplaces, skills, ways of working, companies, culture...? As it is critical to keep up to date with the latest developments, practices and skills, we have identified a wide range of challenges and opportunities. We launched this academy with the purpose of discussing the current state of HR, investigating how HR Management can be improved to make a sustainable contribution to business success.
