Since Aspire HRBP Programme launched in 2014 over 200 HR professionals from across the country have embarked on its initial journey to develop the business skills needed to challenge and influence organisational direction and drive culture. 

In 2019 we are piloting Aspire HRBP 2.0 Programme which remains committed to developing individuals as strategic business partners but builds on the highly effective original programme to meet to the evolving needs of the public sector.  Aspire HRBP 2.0 Programme will build the capability of a new breed of strategic business partner to influence the future working of HR and OD – embracing the digital agenda.

New modules focus on; workforce strategies, understanding and deploying digital technologies, as well as exploring and defining the value of HR and successful business models.  We will also strengthen the programme links to the refreshed CIPD ‘HR profession map’ and aim to delve further into the organisational development space.

NEW for 2019 – Aspire OD+
In 2019 we will also be piloting a 2 day programme built around the new content in Aspire 2.0 and its particular focus on OD. This Aspire ‘bolt on’ module will enable our Alumni to bring their learning right up to date, but it will be equally beneficial for public sector HR and OD professionals that have not participated in an Aspire programme before.

‘Aspire has confirmed the importance of providing our HR business partners with the strategic space to explore the future of HR.

We are really excited about the new content in Aspire 2.0 and the focus on CPD and the increased emphasis on organisational development’ LGA

“Aspire is a programme that captures individual aspiration and turns it into real capability. HR business partnering has never been more important as organisations need to transform their capability to succeed. Having a people strategy that is firmly supporting that transformation is where HR can add real value and the Aspire programme is equipping HR Business partners to do just that.” (Aspire sponsor)
