Increasing the Effectiveness of HR

Corporate Research Forum’s (CRF) purpose is to increase the effectiveness of the HR function through developing the capability of HR professionals, in order to drive sustained organisational performance.

2021 Programme

2020 has taught us the value of remaining connected, focusing outwards, learning from each other, and responding with flexibility and innovation to a fast-changing context. This mindset drives our 2021 programme.

Testimonials

I continue to be impressed by the way Corporate Research Forum links the best of leading academic input to the real organisation and people issues faced by businesses in today’s uncertain environment. Added to that, they are always a pleasure to work with.

Amy C. Edmondson, Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School

Each year, the array of CRF events offer evidence-based insights into optimising individual and organisational performance. With dynamic change becoming the new constant, the CRF team help their members to focus on the most relevant topics just before we need the insight.

Jeff Lindeman, Director – Finance, HR and IT, WD40

CRF events are the ones that we always make time to attend, because we know the investment will be worth it. The quality of content, presenters and attendees is consistently outstanding and manages to perfectly bridge broad, future-focused academic thinking with pragmatic, practitioner-led discussion.
