Value Innovation in Human Resources

Value Innovation, derived from the best seller book “Blue Ocean Strategy”, is one of the most powerful management concepts that have helped companies to constantly innovate and out perform the market.

Today the business requires the human resources function to take a bigger role on the business roundtable and to re-invent itself. As a result, CEDEP has designed this cutting-edge programme to help HR executives better align their HR practices with the overall corporate strategy and their talent management agenda

The 2 day programme provides the know-how in applying the tools and frameworks of Value Innovation to the Human Resource function. The first day covers the fundamentals of Value Innovation. Day two challenges participants’ key prevailing assumptions in order to better align the HR functions into the perspective of the entire organisation and its stakeholders.
