The Call for Speakers is OPEN for ScaleHR 2020.

Do you love strategizing how HR functions can better support organizational growth, business transformation and/or the workforce of the future?  Do you have research, expertise, experience or perspectives to share with our HR and business professionals who want to more strategically address workforce challenges in order to remain competitive in their industries?

 

If so, then we invite you to submit content for one of our 8 micro-learning strategy labs at ScaleHR 2020!  Yes, you read right – micro-learning strategy labs.  No, it’s not your typical conference breakout session, but a fun impactful alternative. Intrigued?  Then read on.

 

The 2020 ScaleHR conference Call for Speakers gives individuals the opportunity to send proposals to speak and participate in one of the 8 micro-learning strategy labs at our annual conference. A micro-learning strategy lab is a unique rapid-learning development format which combines the principles of micro-learning (short bursts of knowledge or insight) and innovation strategy labs (using ideation and strategic thinking to move ideas further, faster).

 

The audience participates in a guided experience of:
1.  better understanding the new knowledge presented on a topic
2.  using the power of group think to ideate relevant options for them and/or their organization
3.  strategizing the viability of applying option(s) of choice back into their company, business or organization

 

As a presenter, you will be given 5-8 minutes to present riveting content, forward-thinking ideas, best practice solutions, enlightening case studies and/or ground-breaking perspectives on the identified topic. Only having 5-7 minutes will require that you eliminate any fluff and be laser focused on bringing a ton of true value to conference participants. 

You will then participate on a panel on said topic, followed by you serving as a mentor to the table teams during the guided strategy session.  Your time commitment as a topical speaker will be one hour in length, although you will be welcome to remain for all or part of the rest of the conference.
