It's no wonder HR leaders are feeling overwhelmed.  To create an environment where people thrive, they are often asked to develop employees and leaders, resolve conflict, plan for succession, oversee performance management systems, hire and indoctrinate new employees, support organization change initiatives, and better engage employees. And oh by the way, let's ensure our people are compensated fairly and on-time and have benefits programs that are competitive with the market place.  

Without a strategy, HR leaders can find themselves in a firefight and wonder where the days and weeks go.  Depending on one's experiences with strategic planning activities, they may be cynical about spending time on strategic planning.  

It's possible to create a strategy that builds excitement within an organization and doesn't sit on the shelf.

In this workshop we will discuss strategies to remove the frustration out of strategic planning.  How will you feel when you are able to:

• Simplify the language of strategy
• Recognize the three biggest oversights leaders make when developing a strategy
• Spend less than 30 minutes on building a mission statement
• Apply best practices to gain commitment for your HR strategy

Our facilitator for this discussion is Gus Lawson, Strategic Planning Coach, Strategy and Management Services, Inc.

Gus has been helping leaders gain commitment to implement their strategies.  As the creator of the Gain Commitment Strategy Execution Process, he uses his analytical skills, keen listening, and thought provoking questions to help clients understand perspectives, identify critical outcomes and supporting performance measures, and involve internal and external stakeholders to develop a strategy they are excited about implementing.

Gus earned a Masters degree in Business Administration and is certified as an coach by the Center for Executive Coaching.  He is also certified as a Change Management Advanced Practitioner by Georgetown University.
