HR leaders need to be able to network with peers across industries to stimulate their thinking about innovative solutions to rapidly changing business challenges. In response to this need, we created the HR Strategic Issues Council in March 2000 to enable members to keep informed on critical people-related business challenges; such as, building e-businesses, knowledge sharing, talent retention, global growth and leadership development. The Council offers unique benefits to the individual and the firm:

• A confidential and candid exchange of insights, best practices and lessons learned on topics selected by members
• A senior group of colleagues available to one another for benchmarking, knowledge sharing and counsel
• Access to leading experts, sources of information and research developed by the Council

There are many claims on the time of HR leaders. The Council’s emphasis on practical, actionable solutions to real issues distinguishes it from other research and benchmarking forums.

Member organizations are typically companies pursing rapid growth or strategic change. They represent diverse industries. Companies based in North America and Europe are currently members. An annual membership fee of $5,000 allows up to two members per company.

Council meetings and research agendas are planned by members, buided by a steering committee. Past meetings have featured guests such as Jeffrey Pfeffer - Stanford, Peter Cappelli - Wharton, MNark Huselid - Rutgers and Ed Lawler - USC.

Our next meeting will be February 24-25 at The Wigwam Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. The fall meeting will be September 15-16, hosted by Lincoln Financial, in Philadelphia.
