OPENING KEYNOTE: The potential of potential
Dr Hamira Riaz -
VP Strategic Leadership,
Volvo Group
The human species is grappling with an unprecedented set of existential issues. A once in a century pandemic, once-in-a-generation levels of geo-political instability all set against the backdrop of an undeniable climate crisis – it is hardly a surprise that societal death anxiety is on the rise. We are all facing big questions about our purpose on this planet and the great resignation is a sign that people are fundamentally re-evaluating their relationship to work. Understandably, building resilience remains a top priority for most People & Culture functions this year. But how can we keep engagement levels high in the face of such radical uncertainty? In this opening session, Dr Hamira Riaz, VP Strategic Leadership at Volvo Group, invites us to reinvigorate the psychological contract with employees by talking Potential not Performance. She will touch on the following issues:
- Differentiating potential in life and potential @work
- Potential as a corporate construct
- The death of the performance-potential grid
- Conversion of potential into future performance
- The potential conversation as an enabler of life-long learning
