Tomorrow's Company is delighted to have established a new strategic partnership with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) to explore, through a series of provocations and roundtables, the theme of Tomorrow’s Adaptive Organisation.
Through this partnership we will be exploring the issues, challenges and choices facing tomorrow's companies and above all what this means for the 'people agenda'. Leadership and talent, behaviours and culture, will all be essential to deliver future success. As a result, this puts new pressures but also new opportunities on the HR profession, which our new programme will explore.
The theme of Tomorrow's Adaptive Organisation is deliberately provocative and broad ranging - it enables a range of issues to be discussed linked to the changing business environment in which companies are now operating. It also builds and extends the research undertaken previously by both organisations (for example, CIPD’s Shaping The Future and Tomorrow’s Company’s Tomorrow’s Global Talent).
Through this partnership, CIPD and Tomorrow’s Company will explore what this changing business landscape means in practice for HR leaders, through a series of provocations relating to ‘Tomorrow's Adaptive Organisation’ (TAO), as outlined below in the diagram.

The first roundtable in the series of the dialogues was led by Sir John Egan. Former chief executive of Jaguar and BAA, he shared his experience of how to establish high performing boardrooms and his views of the role that HR does, could and should play. You can read and download the output of this dialogue here.
The output from the second roundtable event is now available. To read or download, 'People, trust and authenticity, the qualities of a good leader' by Ian Powell, senior partner and chairman of PwC UK please click here. Ian Powell told his story of being a leader in a professional services firm – how he is a ‘lifer’ at PwC, and gradually moved up through the organisation until he became chairman of the UK firm in 2008. Through his different experiences in varying roles, he developed his leadership approach based on authenticity and integrity.
We had the pleasure and honour of having Paul Drechsler, chairman and chief executive of Wates Group at the occasion of our third roundtable. To read the report of this event, please click here.
