The People Revolution Series
The People Revolution is a bold new event series calling time on the outdated systems and siloed thinking that still define too much of modern HR. Born out of the rebellious spirit of Talentpalooza, this series challenges people leaders to rethink how we design, deliver, and evolve the people experience in our organisations.
It’s time to dismantle the traditional HR blueprint and rebuild with purpose. We can close the growing gap between business intent and worker reality by aligning Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, DEI, employee experience, and our leadership strategies.
It's about HR and Talent as designers of experience, culture and adaptability, not just enforcers.
This isn’t evolution—it’s a revolution.

"Powerfully Aligned: Building an HR Team That Works as One"
It’s time to break down the silos, end the turf wars, and build an HR function that actually functions — as one bold, trusted, strategic unit.
This workshop is for HR leaders who are done with disjointed processes, blurred accountabilities, and internal bottlenecks. You’ll reimagine your HR, Talent, and People teams as a single high-impact engine — built on trust, aligned goals, and a shared obsession with delivering business value.
Together, we’ll design a new operating model where:
- Collaboration is the default
- Strategy isn’t sacrificed for delivery
- And the HR function earns its seat by showing its value — not just asking for it.
Leave with a blueprint to rebuild your function, bring your team on the journey, and lead with confidence, clarity, and commercial edge.
