Be the influential HR leader you are meant to be
The past 18 months have tremendously accelerated the evolution of HR and transformed many aspects of its role. By being involved early in strategic discussions and decisions, HR leaders are the best placed to empower employees, maximise productivity and create value for their organisation.
Whether you're a new or aspiring HR leader or want to expand your skill set, our program is specifically designed for you to unlock your potential. Here is what makes the difference:
1. Small cohort program: you will get to collaborate with other like-minded and motivated professionals and learn together via case studies and assessment of challenges you are currently facing
2. Focus on 3 pillars that will help you make an impact: strategy development and implementation frameworks, influence decisions at an organisation level and drive better results through effective culture programs, added value creation and increased employee's performance
3. Weekly momentum sessions: not only our expert facilitators will guide you through the program but also coach the group weekly to move the dial forward on what you are working on
4. Real-time results: we don't get stuck in the concept, you will learn through and finish the program with your Strategic HR Leadership Roadmap for you to apply
At The Outperformer, we have always led our programs online and developed effective methodology and support systems so you get the most out of your learning experience and time investment.

What previous participants to our strategic leaders program have to say:
"The program helped prioritise my own growth as a leader and think about how I can effectively partner with and influence my stakeholders within the business. It’s also given me the tools to share with other leaders around the business to help them on their journey.
The facilitators are experts in their specific fields. From a sporting analogy, if you’d want to run fast, you’d go to a sprint coach, who just specialises in sprints and short distance running. Similarly, it should apply to our own professional growth. Think of them as specialised mentors in their area."
Kevin Sampath, Hudson
" Before commencing the program, I was swimming in the detail, confused between what was ‘tactical’ versus ‘strategic’ and lacked the confidence and language to bring my ideas to the table.
Now I feel better equipped to be a co-pilot, partnering with the business rather than doing things without understanding the true value/connection to the strategic objective. I strive to bring the team I lead in alignment with the overall objectives of the business and have the tools and frameworks to do just that."
Teresa Paredes, Best Technology Services
"One thing I remind myself of regularly is how I can influence strategy, knowing that I can implement this in my role is very rewarding. I am already having strategic discussions everyday with Executives, Product Developers and even the Head of Strategy and Insights.
I want to be part of what’s most important to a business and see the businesses I work for succeed. Having a strategic lens on everyday helped me move from feeling stuck in ‘mid-career’ ground."
Kate Urlich, Carman's
"The program has helped me prioritise where I spend my time, and how I approach a companywide opportunity. For me the most game-changing aspect was the influencing component of the course and how to be seen and recognised as a strategic leader who adds value.
The course was full of like-minded executives coming together to share their insights and progress together. It was great to be on this journey as a group and learn from each other."
Robin Ford, MAURI
"I am passionate about taking actions to drive outcomes and helping organisations create or maximise value. I wanted this program to show me how this could be achieved, practically and from a mindset point of view.
My top key learnings were the implementable frameworks and the cascading principle we were coached through. While taking the program, I used the frameworks and tools immediately to present at a Senior Leadership meeting about how we were going to deliver our strategy and got great feedback."
