the hr uprising

This week, Lucinda is joined by the Director of Roffey Park Academy, Dr Graham Curtis, for a deep dive into organisational development - demystifying the sometimes cluttered phraseology surrounding it, and busting the jargon that often clouds the subject itself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Organisational development people who truly thrive upon it, have a deep curiosity, and strive to make positive, impactful change.
• Flexibility and comfort with change is an essential component in organisational development. Those who are this way are likely to make more intuitive decisions in the long run.
• We are always trying to look across the whole organisational effort in an attempt to find places where we can effect alignment and create positive change.

BEST MOMENTS

'Our job as HR professionals is to help organisations to remember those values'

'I'm curious and I care about people'

'You have a real reflexive interest in what makes me tick and how do I impact others'

'Good judgment is founded on the ethical challenge'
