HR Summit Presents A DAY WITH TOM PETERS

Tom is co-author of In Search of Excellence – the book that changed the way the world does business, and often tagged as the best business book ever. Sixteen books and almost thirty years later, he is still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented.

What is new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all its worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.” His most recent effort, released in March 2010: The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence. Tom’s bedrock belief: “Execution is strategy – it’s all about the people and the doing, not the talking and the theory.”

TOMPETERS

Excellence: Continuing The SearchTalent Time!

Of course, it’s always been the people; but with a new value equation that puts dramatically more emphasis on innovation and creativity and NASA-like “to the moon” projects and multi-enterprise co-operation, talent (big word!) is more important than ever. Strategies and tactics are offered for taking a fresh, radical re-look at the “people (talent!) dimension.” Peters comes at this “bottom up,” focusing on what he calls “Brand You”–instilling an entrepreneurial attitude and penchant for excellence in every employee.

In this compelling presentation, Peters revisits and boldly extends the ideas that helped make "In Search of Excellence" a watershed event in both business

and publishing—and launched the now mammoth “management guru industry.” Admitting, “the older I get, the less boring these ‘basics’ such as ‘people first’ become,” Peters says that these same ideas “that led us to take a gamble on Wal-Mart in 1982 animate the likes of Google, Starbucks and Commerce Bank today. In fact, the 100% implementation of these ideas is far more important—for survival’s sake—than it was 25 years ago.”

This presentation promises to inspire audiences of any type, anywhere. Peters’ own passion and intensity, audiences around the world report, has only grown with the passage of time.

Socialising Your Business to Drive Change, Improve Productivity, Engage Customers and Employees

Leading organisations around the world are seizing the opportunities in moving from using social technologies for basic communication to driving disruptive change in their industries. This phenomenon is driving innovation in two key areas; creating a smarter better-connected workforce and exceptional customer experiences. In this thought-provoking talk, IBM demonstrates how ‘social business’ is enabling companies worldwide to increase employee productivity and access to knowledge, to empower people through effective collaboration and to amplify innovation in many business areas.

HR Summit Presents A DAY WITH TOM PETERS


9.00 – 9.30Business Leaders Dual InterviewHow Business Leaders Perceive and Value Their Human Capital OperationsIn many organisations in the Middle East, the potential for business growth is constrained by neither financial capital nor leadership commitment but by people resources. Companies continue to struggle to have the right talent in the right place when business mandates. This session will shed light on the business – HR dynamics of the past five years and how CEOs view HR in their businesses.

Constantin Salameh, Group Chief Executive Officer, Al Ghurair Investment

Andrew Shaw, Managing Director, Ducab

9.45 – 10.15Strategic Workforce Planning for a Dynamic Pipeline of Critical Talent and Added Value to BusinessEnsuring that business goals are enabled by solid people plans is making HR leaders re-evaluate their HR tactics. The need to identify and fill predicted gaps in critical talent and align it to business planning is becoming a competitive advantage some businesses need to grow in today’s economy. Henry will discuss the bottom-line benefits of a strategic

approach to workforce planning and how it can bolster efficiency. Henry Fares, Head of HR - Middle East & north Africa, DHL

10.15 – 10.30The Impact of Charismatic Leadership: Driving Productivity and ProfitabilityFocused properly, leadership charisma fosters an environment where all of your people have a positive and energetic attitude, are emotionally and intellectually committed to your vision, and are inspired to contribute their very best efforts to the organisation. In this upbeat and energetic briefing, you will learn how you can become more personally charismatic and how to harness that charisma to achieve superior bottom-line results for your business. Deiric will cover the critical connection between engagement, productivity and leadership charisma.

11.15 – 12.00The Learning Leaders PanelAlways Learning: How Accelerating Business Changes are Forcing L&D to Evolve With new opportunities to accompany economic recovery, more businesses are exploring different areas for growth. To achieve growth, talent skills and competences need to move hand in hand with the business. Companies now want their talent to acquire and develop new skills more quickly than ever. With new technologies and budget constraints, managing effective L&D has never been this critical to the business. Featuring leading heads of learning, the session will address how to become a “learning organisation”

up to date aspects and future trends in a very sophisticated way

Maen Al MousaArasco


STREAM A STREAM B

14.00 – 14.45 Integrated Talent Management for Long-Term Business Advantages: Retention, Engagement and Performance After the global financial crisis, business leaders realised that their talent practices needed to respond to changes in economic and business conditions. To avoid the pitfalls of having to let people go to cut costs when the business takes a downturn, or battling for scarce talent when there is a market uptake, companies are now focusing on having an integrated ‘talent strategy’ for the business. A strategy that will tie all

HR practices together for strategic and insightful decision-making.John Harker, Group Director, HR, Marketing & Travel, Al-Futtaim Group

14.45 – 15.15 The Big Data Boom: Making Data-Driven People Decisions using Predictive HR AnalyticsMany HR functions in the region have now become centres for large-scale data aggregated from various HR processes and activities like engagement surveys, recruitment assessments, learning behaviours, etc. using this ‘big data’ is now the new frontier of empowering business and people decisions powered by data. Ashwani demonstrates how to put big

data analytics into use of HR decisions to predict unforeseen trends and business outcomes of people strategies.Ashwani Dahiya, Vice President Global HR Analytics, American Express

15.45 – 16.30 Developing Local Leaders for Global Growth and Increased Bench StrengthLeading in different countries and across many operating environments means that a new set of leadership capabilities is required for today’s business leaders. businesses now understand that their leaders have to be globally-aware but at the same time understand and adapt to local market conditions and growth goals.

16.30 – 17.15Beyond Attraction: Strategic Employer Branding to Support EVP and RetentionIn the fierce war for talent, employers struggle to keep a competitive edge to not only attract but also retain key people. businesses are starting to look at not only how their brand as an employer is perceived by their future talent but also

by existing workforce. The way the employer communicates its brand to the staff is becoming more important to remain competitive.Cedric Mackellar, Regional HR Director – Middle East, G4S

14.00 – 14.45 Too Big to Ignore: Is HR in the Middle East Ready for the Social Media and Mobile Revolution?The Middle East is one of the fastest growing regions in social media and mobile technology adoption. Employees are now more visible, more vocal and more connected. In this session, Saleh explores why HR cannot afford to miss on the opportunities social media can bring to the business

and the way future HR will be delivered. He will also explain how the challenges and risks ought to be managed.Saleh Al-Harthi, GM - Leadership Development, Rewards and Performance, STC Group

14.45 – 15.15 Identifying Pivotal Talent as Part of a Talent Segmentation Strategy: How to Maximise Return on Improved Talent Performance Most organisations assume that the return on improved performance (ROIP) is equally valuable in all roles at all performance levels, contexts and strategies. This is, however, not the reality. The best companies can identify the roles in their business where improving talent performance has the highest impact on delivering business outcomes.

Peter explores the difference between important and pivotal talent and the analytics process involved. Peter Attfield, HR Director – Retail & FMCG, Alghanim Industries

15.45 – 16.30 People Powering Global Growth: Establishing Global Talent PracticesMore businesses are looking to expand in new and emerging markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Will talent practices developed for a certain market work in a new one? Many HR leaders are now assessing how ‘global’ their HCM strategies are and how to evolve them to fit into business

growth ambitions while maintaining local market mandates. Masoud Golshani-Shirazi, VP HR, Aujan Coca-Cola Beverages Company

16.30 – 17.15‘Leading the Growth’ Case Studies – How Top Organisations are Preparing Their Leaders for the FutureIn today’s economic climate, leaders need to constantly adapt to the changes the business and market conditions dictate. This series of case studies address the leadership life cycle of selecting and assessing potential in leaders, developing their capabilities and managing succession in alignment of business growth.

12.00 – 12.30 Promoting Healthy Organisations: Is it Time for a Paradigm Shift in People Management?Today’s HR leadership addresses challenges within healthcare investments purely from a technical point. They leave out optimisation levers that include medical factors that could lead to minimising and preventing claims that drive premiums up and productivity down. This session highlights key cost drivers and control levers relevant to managing a health insurance scheme that every HR manager should know. Sven will give a holistic overview of how to analyse and manage your healthcare investment including health awareness and prevention programmes to aid productivity and cost control.

In 2011, its share price dropped by 60% and its financial results were below the expectations of shareholders and analysts. As a result, HP has embarked on a major 5-year turnaround plan, and HR is in the core of it. This case study explains the impact

of HR on the financial results of a blue chip like HP. Diaa Mohamed, VP - Global HR Services, Hewlett-Packard

9.00 – 10.30How Great Leaders use Recognition to Develop a Culture of Belief and Deliver Big ResultsIn this very interactive and engaging session based on the new York Times best selling book, “All In” and research from over 300,000 surveys on high performance organisation, Chester will inspire you on how to Engage, Enable and Energise your workforce through the power of recognition. The simple formula of E+E+E outlines how high performance organisations deliver extraordinary results through creating the right culture at work. The session focuses on energising your people through effective recognition and in short, getting your people “All In” and committed at your organisation.

Chester has authored and co-authored 6 new York Times best sellers in a row and his work on workplace recognition in “The Carrot Principle” is the seminal work on the subject. “The Orange Revolution” took the concept of teamwork to the next level. now with “All In: How the best Managers Create a Culture of belief and Deliver big Results!” the concepts of getting the right culture at work and how right culture is every company’s competitive advantage, are again changing the way leaders look at their people and their unique advantage in their markets.

14.45 – 15.15 HRMS 2.0: The New Wave of HR Technology and Integrated Talent Solutions The technology revolution has not left HR unaffected.

16.30 – 17.15Next Generation of Total Rewards Structures that Deliver Maximum Business Value for SpendAlthough new elements were introduced, most businesses in the Middle East still rely heavily on fixed pay and allowances to attract talent. This approach has given companies very little room and flexibility to align their rewards practices to their business objectives. Employers are now

considering new structures to their total rewards strategies to balance the challenge of managing labour costs with the goal of attracting and retaining key talent. Ramakrishna Krovvidi, SVP - Organisation Development, du
