HR TECH Montreal 2020 - Opening Keynote Speaker




I'll be keynoting at HR Tech Montreal in May, speaking about organisation design and social technologies.



I love talking and learning about HR technologies and Montreal is one of my favourite places on the planet, so I'm feeling really excited about this. I hope to see some of you there.

New Community for People Places Technology




I believe strongly that all enabling functions / disciplines supporting people at work and their integrated workspace need to be much more connected than they are.

So I'm really pleased to see Informa Tech setting up the WorkSpace Connect Community which wil cover this broad agenda, targeting HR, IT and Property / Facilities.

The community will centre on the new WorkSpace Connect conference, being launched as part of Enterprise Connect at the end of this month.

And it will be supported by the community's website, where I will be contributing articles - this is my first, on Getting Strategic About the Connected Workspace.

You can also read about my perspectives on HR, IT and collaboration in this whitepaper on Elevating HR’s Strategic Value Through the Connected Workspace.

But I think the people engaged around Enterprise Connect do act a little like a real commnity and I'm hoping the same will happen for Workplace Connect too. So see you there...

Thought Leaders and Influencers on Culture




I was also included in this list of thought leaders and influencers on culture earlier this month.



Both this and my role in the Hacking HR conference are interesting as I deliberately try not to talk about culture. I'll be explaining why in the Hacking HR event.

HRD Connect: Does your Function need a Meeting



I’ve been writing on Linkedin about other ways of organising and the need to shift focus from vertical hierarchies to eg horizontal teams. Doing this offers a lot of benefits in terms of increased effectiveness and efficiency.

However, it’s not even always necessary to shift focus in order to gain these benefits. Sometimes simply understanding the current focus is enough. Eg to realise that when we do have vertical hierarchies that we don’t have to treat groupings of people working at the same level and for the same manager like horizontal teams!

I’ve written about this in the context of functional ‘team’ meetings at HRD Connect.

HRD Summit CoLab on Social Leadership



I facilitated a colab on social leadership at the recent HRD Summit in Birmingham, UK.

Their colabs are supposed to be a workshop type event co-developing new insight on a topic, although I think many of these were quite presentational. And I did deliver a short, 20 minute presentation in mine too:




I explained that I think social leadership needs to change because traditional ways of leading of losing traction, and also because the urgency of change is now increasing too.

However, the rest of the hour long session was focused on thinking though how social leadership differs from traditional leadership, and in particular, how it changes across each of the organisational groups I refer to in The Social Organization and my recent articles on this.





I'll be posting on the insights shared by participants later in the month.
