The Centre for Performance-Led HR (CPHR) within Lancaster University Management School has designed a series of short courses (Executive Masterclasses) tailored to meet the needs of senior HR professionals / partners and mid-senior executives responsible for, or involved in the practice of, organisational design, talent management, HR strategy and employee engagement. HR Magazine has recently discussed the challenges of ensuring that HR education is aligned to the business context, featuring the Centre's programme.
Each one-day Masterclass, which is designed on a customised basis for organizations that wish to run them for their teams, can be taken as a standalone course, or can be linked together as part of a CPHR executive programme.
Prior to attending each course, participants will be provided with access to:
- CPHR case studies on the topics.
- Dedicated video resources on these case studies and on key Masterclass principles.
- CPHR bespoke analytical tools.
These can be used to bring live material to the Masterclass and personalised questions for the experts.
Time is also available for one-on-one individual or team advice on specific HR issues and real-time challenges faced by the participant’s own organisation. If further sessions and discussion are required, personalised coaching or consultancy can be offered.
Subsequent to the Masterclass participants will be provided with:
- online access to a suite of advanced learning materials including the top practitioner and academic articles on the topic, and
- a Post-Masterclass discussion forum for participants.
Each Masterclass, run onsite or at Lancaster, begins with an evening introductory session the evening before the course with the opportunity to network with other participants, enabling a full day of inputs, breakouts and sharing of insights.
Additionally, participants will benefit from continued follow-up from the Centre including access to link personally with the Centre and access to the online resource platform to share ideas, ask questions and gain a different perspective.
The CPHR executive programme consists of five one-day Masterclasses, each developed to provide standalone knowledge and knowhow on current research to enable HR professionals to understand, undertake and influence change within their organisation. The executive Masterclasses will give any HR professional an excellent overview and insight into current HR thinking, strategy and case study example.
Each Masterclass is taught by world-leading experts in HR who work routinely with top HR directors to overcome the most pressing issues facing senior HR specialists today. The core speakers include: Professor Paul Sparrow; Director of the Centre of Performance-led HR and one of the UK’s leading authorities on international HR and its management, Martin Hird; Executive Director of the Centre for Performance-led HR an ex- HR Director for BAE Systems, McLaren Group and Royal Mail, and Professor Cary Cooper CBE; Co-founder of the Centre for Performance-led HR and Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health, author of more than 100 books and one of Britain's most quoted business gurus.
