Based on her research of innovative organizations in general, and of those undergoing digital transformation in particular, Professor Linda Hill, will discuss how the second imperative of leadership—managing your network—is too often neglected at an organization’s peril. Hill will provide examples of what companies are doing to develop leaders who are both value creators and game changers because they know how to build ecosystems of partners inside and outside the organization required to implement innovative solutions.

Presented by Ramona Agrela, Associate Chancellor and Chief Human Resources Executive \| University of California, Irvine The University of California, Irvine (UCI) HR department has undertaken a significant transformation by unifying disparate HR units and elevating the visibility and leadership of HR to the chancellor level to provide more disciplined, strategic services. These changes respect the differences across three unique business enterprises — medical center, health affairs and campus — and includes a think tank partnership that works across the three units on initiatives that support the university’s strategic goals, addresses issues, and implements programs and applications that are changing the way UCI staff members work. We’ll share how individual units were reorganized to help solve problems at an enterprise level and the single service center that is the result of centralizing the three HR units to provide more shared, consolidated services. End the day with a final session designed to maximize your time and learning with other top leadership.
