As a CPO, you probably don’t need more theory. You need practical solutions that help you lead change now. That’s why we’ve created this six month programme: Eight sessions designed to give you the tools to tackle today’s biggest HR challenges.
Led by Lucy Adams and Karen Moran, founders of Disruptive HR and ex-CPOs themselves, you’ll confront real-world challenges, share insights with peers, and get hands-on with solutions that are human-centred, agile, and aligned with today’s fast-moving business environment. We’ll push you to think differently, shake up your approach to people strategy, and equip you with the tools to transform how your organisation works – for the better. We’ll also work with you to increase your influence and impact with your leaders, your team and your organisation.
How does the programme work?
Each month you’ll attend live, virtual sessions delivered by Disruptive HR founders Lucy Adams and Karen Moran. The sessions are designed to give you plenty of new ideas and practical examples and allow time for discussion and sharing ideas. You will also receive a personal mentoring session with Lucy or Karen to focus on your impact as a CPO and the development of your plans, plus you’ll get a complimentary 12-month membership to The Disruptive HR Club so that you can continue learning and connecting with our expansive HR community long after the programme ends.
Who is the training for?
The CPO Programme is designed for experienced HR professionals who are ready to take their leadership to the next level. It’s ideally suited for:
- Chief People Officers and HR Directors who are looking for innovative, practical solutions to address complex challenges in today’s fast-paced business environment.
- Aspiring CPOs or senior HR professionals who are on the cusp of taking on broader leadership roles and who want to gain fresh insights and hands-on strategies that will help them make the step up to executive-level HR.
- HR Leaders who are frustrated with traditional HR approaches and want to explore disruptive, human-centred practices that focus on agility, cultural transformation, and future-proofing their organisations.
- Professionals seeking practical, action-oriented learning, those who prefer solutions they can immediately implement rather than theory.
- HR Innovators and Change Agents who want to influence senior leaders, drive cultural change, and reimagine people strategies in line with cutting-edge HR trends, such as agile structures, employee experience, and AI integration.
