Next HR Club Sydney Event- “Learning Roadmaps; a hands-on experience”
Apr 27
I’m very pleased to announce our next HR Club Sydney Event which will be the third for 2010. It’s great to keep the ball rolling and with so many in attendance last time, I hope we can keep building the local HR Community. Save the date- 8th June- Level 5, 88 Phillip Street, Sydney.
One of the aims of HR Club Sydney was to provide a place where local HR people could meet in a casual environment and share experiences. Another aim for me was to provide access to some of the top HR resources available and provide it to people for free. It may be that you are early on in your HR career or you just don’t have the budget to attend all the conferences you’d like to. My hope is for people to be able to read and hear from others what the key takeouts were and start a discussion, or to provide you with the access to those speakers for free.
This is why I’m excited about this one. In case you don’t have the budget to attend HR Summit this year, I’ve managed to secure Muffy Churches from A.S.K Learning to present a case study around developing the learning roadmap for an award winning program they developed with Siemens Ltd. The award in question is actually the highest honours in the LearnX Asia Pacific Training Awards 2010 for Best Leadership Training Program. Very impressive!
Why should you attend?
Well there will be information shared on the training needs identified, key objectives of the program and how this complete approach provided a long term solution, as well as addressing cultural transformation around people management.
The second half of the presentation will be an interactive session of a simulated training rollout. Muffy will take you inside a sample roadmap and experience two key training moments along that timeline; such as live leadership training activities including: a) Experimentation with the Coaching Model “GROW”, and b) The adaptation of conversation to various personality styles.
The session will be fun and highly interactive and can be used as an example as a model for developing your own internal learning strategies and roadmaps.
Learning Points
- See how a major transformational strategy map can grow organically from one key internal pain point.
- Understand the importance of aligning learning initiatives to business goals and getting buy-in from stakeholders at all levels.
- Move inside the strategy map to experience a critical learning piece.

A special shout out goes to Jane Copeland for this one, as she’s helped me out with organizing another great speaker for HR Club Sydney (for free!). To find out more about award winning L&D strategies that are working, for global companies such as Dell, Siemens, Canon, Commonwealth Bank, Toyata and HP you should connect with Jane via LinkedIn. Even if you don’t have the need now, its good to keep up-to-date with what’s going on that space.
Finally, if you have a speaker that you think HR Club Sydney would benefit from, don’t hesitate to contact me. Although I understand everyone works for a business, the idea is to share information and learnings through things like a case study- not a hard sell for your product so please keep this balance in mind if you have a suggestion for a speaker.
Otherwise- I hope to see you there!
