HUMAN RESOURCES, COMPETENCES & LEADERSHIP (HR):

Recent years have undoubtedly been of great discontinuity: organizations are facing a continuing state of unprecedented pressure, volatility and uncertainty, alongside the challenges posed by new generations entering the work market. Radically different operating models, leadership styles and competences are needed, which are based on Human Resources who are increasingly accustomed to managing "by purpose" and not "by individual tasks": the ability to interpret new situations, take coordinated initiative and swiftly decide even in the absence of certain and unambiguous information becomes a fundamental skill and a critical survival and success factor.

HR-1 - New Leaders and Professionals Wanted The “New Normal” of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity is here to stay (and to get even worse). This asks for redesigning planning, decision-making, information management and leadership styles. Effectively facing the speed of technology and business eco-system change requires an enlarged skillset that goes beyond “Hard skills”. Are we, as leaders and professionals, ready for the fray?

HR-2 - Women and SCM: is there a Supply/Demand balance? Besides being a staple in the ESG’s “Social” topics, Gender Equality is an ethical and business must for forward-looking and system-thinking companies. Supply Chain Management heavily relies on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) matters. What is the supply/demand situation between SCM roles and female applicants? Are we still trapped in old-fashioned clichés? The discussion is moderated by Federica Stufano, SP Analyst e Supply Chain Management Research, Gartner

HR-3 - New Generations Challenges: Shortage of Manpower and Change of Values and Habits Are Boomers so different from Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z? Or our work environment is changing?
