Professor Ulrich and his colleagues have helped shape thinking on how to transform HR practices so that they are outside/in:   aligned to customer needs and integrated around organization capabilities to build this employee, customer, and investor results. This day will be organized around 10 trends shaping HR transformation from the outside/in.  We begin by addressing the changing business conditions and the implications for managing individual ability, organization capability, and leadership.  We will highlight the required organization capabilities of the future and what leaders should know and do to respond to future business realities. We will end with implications for the HR department.  Participants will be able to assess these trends and look for areas of improvement.
