Lynda GrattonMee t the Human Resource St rategy guru

Don’t miss this unique opportunityto spend a day with one of the world’s

leading Human Resource Strategy gurus!

At the seminar, you will receive a copy of Lynda Gratton’s book Hot Spots

She is a clear thought leader in the organization, human systems domain. Her work consistently helps shape how organizations can build capabili-ties that nurture individual talent. I am always anxious for her latest work because I know it will inform my thinking. She works at the leading and innovative edge of organization thinking. She has a knack for working inside companies but finding general trends that cut across companies. She writes clearly and elegantly. She presents with passion and insight. Those who hear her speak will be informed, nourished, and richly blessed.Professor Dave Ulrich, University of Michigan about Lynda Gratton. You always know when you’re in a Hot Spot. You feel energized and alive. Your brain is buzzing with ideas and the people around you share your excitement. These are times when you and your colleagues’ thinking become clearer, when adding value becomes more possible. Times when ideas and insights from others combine with your own in a process of syn-thesis to produce eureka moments, ground breaking ideas and innovations.

Hot Spots can be discovered in teams, at department away days, in meet-ing rooms or factories, at conferences or by the water cooler - any place where people work together in exceptionally creative and collaborative ways. Drawing on her work with leading organizations including Nokia, Goldman Sachs, Reuters and BP, Lynda Gratton explores the organizational and operational processes they’ve put in place to help ignite Hot Spots – and realize their competitive potential. She shares the principles for ena-bling Hot Spots to emerge and flourish.

Lynda Gratton will explain how all organizations can increase the likelihood of break-through innovations taking place, and the role that HR can play in helping to create the mindsets, relationships and ways of organising that energise people and enable them to engage and enable the organization to win in new markets.

Participants will leave the seminar with the ability to: n Understand the value that Hot Spots create in companies n Identify and understand which elements are crucial for the emergence

of Hot Spotsn Examine how your role in your company can support and develop the

context in which Hot Spots flourish

The event is aimed at HR professionals from private and public organiza-tions, who wish to succeed in creating a long-term success that lasts. You will learn how to increase the emergence of innovation and energy in your organisation. You will understand what it takes to create Hot Spots that add value and ensure the company’s sustainability.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!

In 2007 she has been ranked by The Times as one of the top 20 Business Thinkers in the world today and in 2008 The Financial Times selected her as the business thinker most likely to make a real difference over the next decade, she was also in the top two of the Human Resources Magazine’s ”HR Top 100: Most Influential” poll and actively advises companies across the world. Professor Gratton’s book Living Strategy, originally published in 2000, has been translated into more than 15 languages and rated by US CEOs as one of the most important books of the year.

Her more recent book, The Democratic Enterprise, was described by Financial Times as a work of important scholarship. Her article “Integrating the Enterprise,” which examined cooperative strategies, was awarded the MIT Sloan Management Review best article of the year in 2002. Her case study of BP’s peer assist integration practices won the 2005 ECC best strategy case of the year award.

Her latest book, published in 2007 is Hot Spots – why some teams, workplaces and organizations buzz with energy and others don’t. In 2004, Lynda was appointed Senior Fellow of the UK’s Advanced Institute of Management Practice and in 2006 as Executive Director of The Lehman Brothers Centre for Women in Business.


Hot Spots – Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organisations Buzz with Energy - and Others Don’t

When energy flares between people; when coop-eration flourishes and ideas become contagious; when work is exciting, new possibilities appear and innovation happens…That is a Hot Spot, and it has the power to propel teams towards goals they never believed were achievable.

Teams who ignite a Hot Spot are energized, vibrantly alive and buzzing with inspiration. They know that, working together, they will achieve something brilliant, important and purposeful. The energy is palpable, bright, shining.

Hot Spots, is the final part of Lynda Gratton’s tril-ogy of books (the first two being Living Strategy and The Democratic Enterprise), which take an optimistic, humane approach to people and

work. Through her research and experience she has shown that work can be fulfilling, engaging, meaningful and an important part of our happi-ness. Hot Spots shows managers how it is done.

Although based on world class scholarship and research, this is essentially a pragmatic and prac-tical book. It describes Hot Spots, what they are and how they work. It also lays down the principles for creating the right environment for one to emerge (although managers are warned that you cannot command a Hot Spot to appear).

Hot Spots captures the management zeitgeist, details the new ways of working andlooks to the future of the world of work.
