Outline:
Just as in the early 90's when CRF was formed, organisational and HR leaders must work together to pull their organisations out of recession and ensure their fitness for the future.
CRF is staging its first international conference because it feels the time is right to help HR set a new course, and to seize its opportunity out of a time of adversity.
Leadership, talent, change and performance lie at the heart of any People Agenda. These are areas where HR must demonstrate the value it adds to organisational effectiveness. Company examples and in-depth discussion will be used to drill down into the 'what' and 'how'.
