It covers essential aspects of what are the core elements of a business model, helping you make informed decisions that support the overall business strategy. This module is tailored to your company and industry – no ‘off the shelf’ solution here!
UNDERSTAND YOUR STAKEHOLDERS
Without trust, your effectiveness as a HR and People & Culture business partner diminishes - regardless of how technically proficient you are
Building and nurturing trusted business relationships across all business functions is a foundational capability for all HR professionals – regardless of seniority. This module focuses on the role HR business partners play in building relationships with internal stakeholders and their People and Culture colleagues. We prioritise trust-building, building fit for purpose communication skills, and creating a strong presence in stakeholder relationships for maximum impact and team and individual success.
UNDERSTAND YOUR MACRO WORLD
Understanding the external influences that impact your business improves decision-making for HR and People & Culture professionals
Business decisions are influenced by internal and external factors across different industries, markets and geographies. This module focuses on building a strong “outside-in” view of the world, and how macro-environmental factors impact a company’s direction and the HR team’s decision-making. A solid understanding of the macro factors that can impact the organisation, is critical to effective decision making.
YOUR HR and PEOPLE & CULTURE BUSINESS PARTNERING TOOLKIT
Build high impact skills for greater effectiveness across core stakeholder groups
This module will introduce you to tools like the ACDC Contextual Partnering Model to help identify and understand the different delivery modes of a business partner depending on the work context. These tools provide participants a valuable insight into their personal preferences, and how they can broaden out their expertise by leveraging the different modes of business partnering in the right context.

DATA AS A STORYTELLING TOOL
A vital “life” skill for all HR and People & Culture Teams
Storytelling plays an increasing role in all work contexts and done well, helps transform the impact business partners have on their business. Refining this lost skill of storytelling can unleash a HR team’s ability to collaborate effectively and influence better outcomes for the overall business. This fosters a high-performance environment driven by action and tangible results, not just ideas.
KNOW & MEASURE THE VALUE YOU DELIVER
The core ingredient to driving team success
To know you’re having an impact, you need to know how to articulate and measure the value your team delivers as HR business partners. It’s knowing the trade-offs you make around what you do and what you don’t do as a team. This makes all the difference to stakeholders. This module shares some high impact frameworks for you to use in assessing the value HR and People and Culture Business Partners deliver individually and as a team.
