Senior HR leaders occupy a unique position in any organisation — they understand governance, people strategy, labour regulation, and organisational culture in ways that few other executives can match. Yet moving from a General Manager of Human Capital to a Vice President or Chief People Officer demands more than functional expertise. It requires a shift in how you lead, how you engage at board level, and how you translate deep HR knowledge into enterprise-wide strategic authority.

This five-day programme is designed for that transition. Delegates work through executive decision-making frameworks, board governance responsibilities, rewards strategy, and the stakeholder engagement skills that define credible senior leaders.

For those preparing to step into a VP role, the course provides a structured path: sharpening your leadership narrative, building your board-readiness plan, and developing the confidence to lead at the highest level.

Course Objectives

  • Articulate a compelling executive leadership narrative aligned to C-suite and board expectations
  • Apply advanced strategic decision-making frameworks to complex, ambiguous organisational challenges
  • Develop a rewards and compensation strategy that links total remuneration to business performance and talent retention
  • Evaluate the responsibilities of Nomination and Remuneration Committees and their role in executive governance
  • Analyse board-level governance structures, fiduciary duties, and the expectations placed on senior executive leaders
  • Build a personal board-readiness plan that identifies capability gaps and targeted development actions
  • Assess how executive HR leaders influence enterprise culture, workforce planning, and long-term organisational resilience
  • Identify the political, stakeholder, and reputational dimensions of senior executive decision-making

Who Should Attend?

  • General Managers of Human Capital preparing to step into a Vice President or Chief People Officer role
  • Senior HR leaders with substantial experience in governance, policy development, and organisational transformation seeking to broaden their executive credentials
  • Aspiring board members with a human capital or people-strategy background
  • HR professionals with deep expertise in labour regulations, talent management, and manpower planning who are being developed for executive succession
  • Talent and organisational development leaders with remit over executive pipeline and succession
  • Senior professionals in compensation and benefits who wish to engage more effectively at committee and board level
Day by day
