Consulting Skills for HR Professionals
Course Description
To be noticed as a strategic partner HR must become deeply involved in matters of individual and organizational performance. To contribute to performance, HR practices must fit with each other and with the strategy and design of the organization. HR must operate at multiple levels of analysis: at the individual, work group, business unit, organization and cross-organizational levels. It must not only be an individual performer. It must contribute to the development and performance wherever it is strategically important. It must also have a good understanding of industry trends and competitive issues.

Training Methods

Together with your fellow participants you bring a wide variety of experience and resources to the program. The course facilitator’s role is to help you learn for yourself and to assist you as you make sense of new ideas and techniques that you can use at work. We learn things as we try them out, stepping out of the zones that we find comfortable. Joining in role-plays and having a go may feel awkward but is often the best way to find out how we are doing with our learning. You will have plenty of opportunity during the workshop to experiment and try out new skills and understanding. The course facilitator will give you some input and then help you to make sense of the models through some discussion and then practice. You’ll then decide actions to apply the learning to your workplace.
