28th Sustainability Executive Roundtable - "Sustainability and HR, Challenges for the Firm and its Members"

The 28th INSEAD Sustainability Executive Roundtable took place on Friday 21st September 2012 on INSEAD Europe Campus in Fontainebleau, France.
As sustainability has always been an aim of any corporation in today’s world it has become impossible to turn it into a business reality without taking into account all relevant externalities.

The 28th Roundtable examined the implications for Human resource management. What are the sustainability competences? And the sustainability talents? Or does competence suffice? Is sustainability necessarily an organisational characteristic rather than a person’s characteristic – i.e. will people always be less sustainable than their members? And what are the requirements for people to become more sustainable? What new dualities do they have to manage?

The 28th Roundtable aimed to address the following areas, by giving space to the results of academic research as well as insights from successful practitioners:

• Personal development – which competences and talents to acquire to make individuals more sustainable?
• Strategic talent management for sustainable enterprise
• Team leadership process – making sustainability a team talent
• Business model agility – managing volatile externalities sustainably
• Sustainability competency development in successful enterprises.
• Examples of sustainable and temporary organisational designs will also be discussed.
