  • During the 6 weeks of the Dave Ulrich HR Academy, you will learn directly from Dave Ulrich, other experts, and your peers about what it means to build value for your organization and its stakeholders.
  • The academy is organized around three main content areas (1) HR from the Outside-In, (2) Outcomes of HR, (3) HR for HR.
  • You will complete 16 learning modules.
  • Modules include videos, reflections, cohort discussions, polls, and additional exercises.
  • In addition to the online materials, you will be given a participant guide with the relevant slides, models, and tools.
  • Each week you will come together with your cohort virtually for a 60-minute consultant-led session.
  • The consultant-led sessions provide a space for RBL consultants and academy participants to discuss applications specific to the participants' organization and situation.

“In HR, we are in a unique position to impact our current financial performance and, more importantly, create capabilities that will grow our future value. This requires a strategic approach to value creation and a deeper understanding of our stakeholders.”
