These are turbulent times in which technological and social developments are happening at a rapid pace. These developments have a major impact on your organisation and the work it does. This requires new HR leadership with a focus on creating (new) conditions for employees to do their job. This programme helps you do just that and is therefore more than appropriate in these turbulent times.


HR Leadership in Organisational Development
In this programme, you will learn to look at your role as HR leader from different angles; from organisation to strategy and infrastructures. Inspiring top lecturers show you the way and give their view on HR leadership from their own scientific discipline. You are given tools to effectively translate organisational goals into HR goals and to apply them in practice. So you can immediately put them into practice in your work!
General
The course consists of three main parts: Developing organisational infrastructures, Zooming in on HR and Organisational strategy and infrastructure. These topics are addressed in different ways. Sometimes you get master classes from subject-matter experts, other times it is experiential learning where you stretch your thinking and your actions. Or group exercises to translate what you have learned into your own plans and issues. Complemented by dialogue sessions to help each other and share practical experiences. There is plenty of room for reflection and discussion.

Factsheet
Programme
Module 1: Introduction to socio-organisational business studies
In the first module, we establish the relationship between the 'hard' side of organisations (structure, technology and HR systems) and the 'soft' side (the culture of an organisation and the quality of its social contribution) and explore how the two sides are connected.
Module 2: Strategic challenges HR
With an eye on sustainable employability of people, you analyse how important social developments impact organisations, how organisations can deal with them, and what consequences this has for (strategic) HRM.
Module 3: Structures that work
The structure of an organisation is crucial for its performance and has a major impact on organisational innovativeness and on commitment to work and the quality of labour relations. After this day, you will know the helping principles of designing the structure of organisations and have insight into how to build structures that work.
Module 4: Knowledge and learning in organisations: HR and technology
How well an organisation learns and how adequately the organisation's knowledge processes run, does not only depend on the organisational infrastructure. The 'social fabric' of the organisation is also influential. You gain insight into that 'social fabric' so you can target knowledge and learning processes to enable organisational change.
Module 5: Interventions in organisations
This module is all about change. You will learn about the change, design and intervention aspects and how to build a temporary change organisation.
Module 6: HR and sensible organising
On this day, you will work together to develop a new strategic HR policy using the acquired knowledge. You will have a well-founded vision of what role the HR function should fulfil to deal with change and strategic challenges. And you work out which activities, methods and techniques are involved.
Module 7: HR and organisational change + conclusion
This concluding day focuses on the role from your HR function in developing the organisation. Now everything comes together. You connect the dots by going further into the role of HR in developing the structure. Together, we explore the different roles and which tools are available to you in this respect.
