Three Secrets of ChangeMakers

Who Drive Business Transformation From Their Seat in HR

Dulles SHRM Discussion Group is pleased to welcome Alexa Beavers, Founder and Managing Partner at The Axela Group. This session will focus on what it takes to drive organizational change from your seat in HR. As an HR leader you have a unique perspective on people, process, culture and how these factors impact results. At the same time, you’re often not the one with the biggest budget or decision rights, so you have to rely on some guerilla tactics to drive change and influence the leaders you’re here to support.
In this talk, you will learn about:

• Stories of transformational change that started with catalysts in HR
• What it takes to be an HR Changemaker
• The formula for change Δ = & X ! – and each component of this three factor equation for making lasting change from your seat in HR

This meeting has been approved for 1 SHRM credit and awaiting credit for 1 HRCI General credit.
