When we as HR Leaders develop our Human Capital plans, not only should we take our business strategy into account but also look at the broader economic context. Some of us have national and global operations and we might get some overall high level data for the locations we operate in. But as we are all based in Houston, an in-depth understanding of the economic situation of Houston will give us insights in how to plan for the future. Join us in this dynamic session with Roel Gabe Martinez, Research Director at the Greater Houston Partnership. Mr. Martinez will describe the current Employment Outlook for the year (in context of past years), he will address Houston key economic drivers: Energy, U.S. Economy, Exports, and Population – and the risks each driver faces (e.g. trade war, anti-immigration policy, etc.) and he will finish by looking at local economic indicators like employment by industry, and some leading economic indicators that give clues to where Houston’s economy is heading.
| Many business leaders now see organization design as a key lever, along with talent, for strategy execution. But, too many still focus on changing org charts and call their HR partners in too late to the process. In this session, Michele DiMartino, from Kates Kesler Organization Consulting, will discuss their latest work on re-shaping company operating models and translating them into tangible organization design choices that enable the corporate growth plan. She’ll share practical examples and tools that you can apply in your own practice. | Randy Hain, President of Serviam Partners, will offer enlightening perspectives on the power of doing business relationships the right way. He will unpack the four biggest contributors to poorly done business relationships and offer practical tips to overcome these challenges. This talk will be focused on equipping our group to engage differently in the area of business relationships with work colleagues, internal clients and others in our professional/personal networks. Be prepared for an engaging conversation, lots of stories and a refreshingly practical approach to relationship building. |
