Many in HR seem to be asking the same question, “Are we there yet?” Too often, many in HR seek but never seem to arrive at their destination. Professional conferences continue to lament HR more as an administrative service or compliance function than a business partner. Sometimes these lamentations only lengthen the journey to HR credibility. Maybe HR's aspiration for the future is less a specific destination that pinpoints when we have arrived and more a direction for aspiring HR professionals to help their organizations succeed. Most HR professionals have made enormous progress in the last few decades in their professional stature and contribution to business success. But, the journey ahead stays the course of continuing to deliver value more than having a single point-in-time destination of when that value has been accomplished. Dave Ulrich, RBL Group Tuesday 27th September 2011 Seminars with Allan Freed This is a series of 3 seminar presentations on HR Value creation by Allan Freed, Principal with RBL Group, targeted at different audience; Generalist HR Professionals, Senior Professionals and final session for CEO's & HR Directors which include a Video Broadcast by Dave Ulrich (He launched the HR Business Partner Model to great acclaim in 1997 in the book, Human Resource Champions)
IT Companies, Consulting Firms, Education Providers and independent Consultants, etc. Theme: Are We There Yet? What Next for HR? Anyone who has been on a trip with a child has heard the endless question “Are we there yet?” At first, the question captures the excitement of the child anticipating a new place. After a while, the questioning becomes exasperating and only adds to the length of the journey.

Allan's current work helps organizations identify and build capabilities required for the execution of strategy through leveraging human resources and improving leadership performance.
