“Loved Mark Rodgers – found him really inspiring. Also like the workshop around appraisals and I liked that this was linked into the Aspire projects, so it felt like a lot of background research had gone into it”

“Getting the perspective of Mark Rodgers including the practical views on how he has been tackling the challenges at Birmingham. The flow of speakers was great and for me a common theme came through – taking a bit of time to understand the issues before jumping into solutions. Be curious and listen”!

“The first 3 speakers were inspirational, engaging and gave me huge food for thought to progress my knowledge in these areas. Really appreciated the heads up on the CIPD report that came out yesterday – current, interesting and relevant to my organisation. Meeting other BP’s and hearing about their experiences and practices in their organisations.”
