“Today’s leaders in the areas of human resource management, staffing and talent, not only need subject expertise but also broader leadership and business skills as well as the ability to draw on data and technology to support a people strategy. Too often we see excellent people professionals fail to make the step up to senior management or

board level because they lack the broader understanding of their organisations or the analytical skills, that would allow them to contribute to the development and implementation of organisational strategy.”

Emma Parry, Professor of Human Resource Management Cranfield University
