The William Davidson Institutes's Human Resource Network (HRN) is the leading professional forum for HR executives active in Central and Eastern Europe. Members create a powerful peer network at professor-led seminars, best practices-sharing workshops, and informal information exchanges throughout the year. Recent workshop leaders have included management gurus Noel Tichy, Lynda Gratton and Henry Mintzberg.
Upcoming Human Resource Network Workshops
Fall 2008
The Fall 2008 HR Network Workshop will held August 28-29 at the Hotel Mercure in Prague, Czech Republic. The workshop will be lead by Professor Wayne Brockbank at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
"The HR Business Proposition"
This workshop will be based on a book published by Professors Brockbank and Dave Ulrich. The book entitled The HR Value Proposition explores their belief that a fundamental transformation of HR starts with a definition of HR value—who the receivers are and a clear statement of what they will receive from HR services.
Professor Wayne Brockbank is the Faculty Director and Core Instructor of the Strategic Human Resource Planning Program, the Human Resource Executive Program, and the Advanced Human Resource Executive Program at the University of Michigan’s Executive Education Department. His teaching focuses on strategic Human Resources management, strategy formulation and implementation, and international business. Professor Brockbank is also the Director of Center for Strategic HR Leadership.
