My Contribution Today

 discuss the HR strategies used at the Queensland
Building Services Authority (BSA) and possibly your
organisation to influence boardroom decisions through
L+D initiatives
Key Points
 Examine current research about HR presence in the
  boardroom
 Discuss the BSA case study that shows L+D supporting
  boardroom decisions
 How the Mars Bar influenced the BSA boardroom /
  executive management
Research
 Boards - comfortable with people who get the numbers.
 Perception - HR is short on this, and always has been.
 Survey < 1% UK's senior executives have HR expertise
 Hmmm, So what?
 Board members need to be great leaders. Leaders of
  people, leaders of innovation, leaders of their industry.
  Does this require HR expertise?
 HR role - tools and skills - successful with their people.
 HR leaders are finding other ways to interface.
   Korn Ferry Institute
HR has a long history of
being a support
department, rather than a
business player that can
provide a measurable ROI.
Getting to the Boardroom
 HR must be more than HR partners to get to the
  boardroom
 HR must be players
    Coach
    Architect
    Designer
    Facilitator
    Leader
How can HR define success?

What are the issues
that can position HR in
the boardroom?
  Attract, retain and
   motivate talent
  Change
   management
  Innovation
  Leadership
  Strategic clarity
