SUMMARY:Academy - People Excellence To Gain A Competitive Edge In A Disruptive Innovative World - 17 September 2026
DESCRIPTION:SIOPSA Academy presents... \nPeople Excellence To Gain A Competitive Edge In A Disruptive Innovative World \nIn the current disruptive innovative\, ideas-experience-based world\, people are the only true value unlockers and wealth creators in organisations. Why? Because this world is fuelled by the power of people’s imagination\, creativity\, and ingenuity. Concurrently\, the war for talent has shifted from not merely attracting people (the hard talent war) to providing (hyper-) personalised\, purpose-driven\, meaningful work experiences of thriving\, and hence personal fulfilment\, for people (the soft talent war). \nPeople have become central to the continued viability of organisational performance and success in the present and future. Organisations must be great at making their people thrive. Their people are the best they can\, and want to be. People Excellence has become a strategic imperative for organisations. Strategically knowing the state of an organisation’s People Excellence – its “people creditworthiness” – has become mission-critical for every organisation\, in the present and future. \nThe purpose of this one-day Workshop is to enable participants to conduct a strategic organisational stress test of the people creditworthiness of their organisations\, indicative of its People Excellence. The application of this stress test will assist in the identification of strategic people interventions to bring about People Excellence in their organisations. The interventions will create the organisational conditions under which people will be able to flourish and thrive\, and consequently feel fulfilled in their organisations. In this way\, an organisation will win the soft talent war. \nThis Workshop Benefits are... \n\nStrategically frame and position People Excellence in the new world of work\nExposure to the best thought-leadership\, latest research\, and cutting-edge practices regarding People Excellence\nUnderstand how to diagnose in an integrated\, systemic manner the People Excellence of an organisation\, its people creditworthiness\nBe capacitated to enable the unleashing the synergistic fusion of lasting People Excellence within their organisation\n\nWho Should Attend \n\nIndustrial and Organisational Psychologists and People Professionals who work in the Organisational and People Effectiveness/Development Domains with at least 3 years of experience.\n\nEVENT DETAILS \n\nDATE: 15 October 2026\nTIME: 09h00 - 17h00\nCPD:  8 Clinical CEU\n\n FACILITATED BY \n\nProf. Theo Veldsman
