Advanced Human Resource Executive Program
Create Value for All Stakeholders (Employees, Business, Customers, Investors, Communities) Through Human Capability
Never before has human capability (talent + leadership + organization + HR) been more central to business results. More is expected of HR professionals to deliver value to employees, businesses, customers, investors, and communities. To respond to these opportunities for impact, you need to create a world-class HR function. For 35 years, AHREP has defined ideas that will directly impact your success with world-class faculty (led by Dave Ulrich) and remarkable participants.
The insights in this learning experience come from multiple big data projects over 35 years with over 10,000 firms and 120,000 respondents. Based on this research and consulting with over half the Global 500, this program will give you insights into how four human capability pathways (talent, leadership, organization, and HR) and 38 associated initiatives will transform how you can deliver value-added HR. You will learn the next playbook of how business leaders can link these pathways to stakeholders’ value and how HR professionals can become true business partners.

The program exceeded my expectations and changed the way I think about HR as a whole. If you’re looking for the best program in HR, this is the one. -
