EEA Zoom Shows

June 16, 1 pm-1:30 pm ET: Stakeholder Capitalism, Human Capital Management, and the Opportunity for HR With Dave Ulrich. Register now.

Summary: Pressures from investors, consumers, talent, and now the Covid-19 crisis have put increasing pressure on CEOs to have a strategic and systematic approach to managing human capital. This session will address the emerging topic of Stakeholder Capitalism being espoused by an increasing number of influential leaders, including the World Economic Forum, the Business Roundtable, Paul Tudor Jones and his JUST Capital outreach organization, The Embankment Project, and many more, and how it promises to affect the management of people in the coming years. This session will address the new focus on people and what skills CEOs and management will need to master. 

Speaker: David Ulrich, Speaker, Author, Professor Thought Leader on human resources management, leadership, and organizational management. 

Summary: Over the last two decades, hundreds of books have focused on leadership and culture, and many CEOs at companies of all sizes have hired coaches to help improve their management styles. And yet, after 20 years or more of talk, probably no more than 20% of organizations have a strategic approach to culture management—i.e., a CE0-led plan that drives a consensus-based brand promise, values, culture, and objectives through a formal process across the enterprise. The result—almost no change in customer and employee engagement. Panelists address why most companies do little more than pay lip service to culture; the potential cost of that oversight; and what can be done about it.
Speakers: Dr. Paul White, Founder, Appreciation at Work,a leader in culture through genuine appreciation; Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance, London Business School and author of the recently published, Grow the Pie, who will be sharing his research on the economic benefits of engagement but also a new equation for making decisions based on smarter human-capital analytics; Gary Rhoads, CEO of Xvoyant.com, and Professor Emeritus, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, Marriott Graduate School of Business, who will provide the perspective of an early pioneer in Enterprise Engagement as creator of Allegiance, now MaritzCX, a customer experience company, and more recently of Xvoyant, a sales engagement SaaS platform that is yielding fascinating insights on sales behaviour based on empirical data; and Barbara Porter, Managing Director, EY, who has managed culture both as a CEO of her own company and as an advisor to many others.
