Academy Director, Strategic HR Trainer and Learning Facilitator at Jon Ingham Strategic HR Academy - London, England, United Kingdom
HR is playing an ever more important business role. The profession has done a generally brilliant, if reactive and operational job leading organisations into and through the lockdown and now the slow return to the office, even if this is not always recognised.However, leading out of and beyond the pandemic is going to require smarter, more innovative approaches clearly focused on driving successful transformations in services and impacts, and in the private sector, competitive advantage.This means HR organisations and professionals need to upskill our strategic capabilities like never before.Jon Ingham's Strategic HR Academy has been created to help you with these goals: developing the required skills and insights; radically improving HR's impact; and driving the success of our organisations.Jon Ingham has been working to help HR improve its strategic impact for the last 20 years. His first book, ‘Strategic Human Capital Management', published in 2008, covered some of this agenda. This was also further developed in his second book, ‘The Social Organization', published in 2017, which included a foreword by Dave Ulrich. In this, Dave notes: "One of Jon's obvious strengths is his eclectic thinking and ability to access an inordinate number of theories, frameworks, tools, and examples." – Dave Ulrich.Jon and Dave have also co-authored an article on the future of HR, ‘Building Better HR Departments'. More recently, Jon has developed the new Melded Network HR Model which built on Jon's earlier article with Dave Ulrich.As well as consultancy, Jon has been training HR practitioners on strategic HR topics for the last ten years.
