Strategic HR Decision-Making: Turning Workforce Challenges into Business Solutions
20 November 2026, Virtual, 9am-1pm
Overview
HR leaders are increasingly expected to operate beyond traditional HR expertise — to understand the business problem, assess the commercial implications, make sound decisions, build compelling recommendations and influence senior leaders to act.
This masterclass would provide a practical framework for making that shift: from solving HR problems to solving business problems through people, while navigating how AI and technology are reshaping work, organisational capability and the workforce choices leaders must make in a changing world.

- Reframe people and workforce challenges as business problems

- Understand how AI and technology are reshaping work and capabilities, and apply sound judgement to the choices this creates
- Build stronger executive recommendations and business cases — moving beyond HR language
- Influence senior stakeholders more effectively
- Measure HR success through meaningful business outcome
