Design Thinking for HR Leaders - Singapore
Feb 04 '20 | 08:30 AM (SGT)
Event Information
Traditional HR teams are often populated by people who see their role to protect the organisation, to avoid risk and ensure consistency. This type of HR function is becoming less and less valued within the business. What is valuable to the business is a HR function that can improve the employee experience so talented people work at their most productive. One way HR can transform itself is to incorporate design thinking into its people strategies.
"Design thinking is important, and it works. In this year’s survey, respondents at companies where HR delivers the highest levels of value are almost five times more likely to be using design thinking in their programs than their peers" Deloitte University Press 2016
It is time for HR to reinvent itself by incorporating Design Thinking into its people strategies. This one-day fast-paced program will equip HR Leaders with the necessary tools and skills to move away from "process design" to "human-centred design".
Learning Outcomes:
- Shift your mindset away from designing top-down, centrally distributed HR programs.
- Understand the value of designing all HR programs with the employee at the centre.
- Analyse and discuss design thinking and implications across the HR context.
- Create and communicate end-user driven solutions to HR problems or opportunities such as employee engagement, organisational design and attracting talent.
- Adopt the 'Design Thinking Mindset' with 8 mindset tools.
- Map the Employment Lifecycle from the employee's point of view to improve all employee experiences.
- Reduce risk and accelerate learning through rapid testing and feedback loops.
- Problem-find and reframe problems in a way that enables HR to develop a culture of innovation.
- Map the employee journey to identify touchpoints and needs and redesign the employee experience.
- Use storyboarding to create a brand new employee experience with the employee at the centre.
- Become a HR Leader that is comfortable operating in ambiguity and uncertainty with sophisticated tools.
Design Thinking isn't just a 'nice to have', it's a necessity for the modern 21st Century HR Leader who wants to drive organisational change and remain competitive in a highly competitive profession.
