The National Conference brochure of the Institute of Personnel and Development, featuring a keynote address by Charles Handy. The document begins by describing how the business climate has become more complex, demanding, and rapidly changing than ever before, with an increasing emphasis on corporate regeneration and the search for innovation. It proceeds to state that many of today's managers have continued to ignore the single most important ingredient of achieving and maintaining success, that being people, and how organizations should be constantly reinventing and reimagining themselves if they are to stay ahead. The brochure then identifies six challenges of interest in the conference, namely, strategic direction, achieving business success, legal updates, managing reward, managing and developing people, and keeping ahead of the issues. Handy's participation in the conference will be as a closing keynote address speaker, where he will discuss the issue of employee retention and how organizations will have to offer more than a decent salary and employability to keep the best people. Included in the document is a schedule of events and information on individual panels and speakers, as well as registration information.
