Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

From Headcount to Capability: Reimagining Strategic Workforce Planning for a Volatile Future

Strategic workforce planning is undergoing a fundamental shift, from static headcount forecasting to dynamic capability building. In today’s environment of rapid technological change, evolving employee expectations, and persistent talent shortages, HR must rethink how they align workforce strategies with business priorities.

This session will explore how leading organizations are moving beyond traditional planning cycles to adopt agile, skills-based approaches that anticipate disruption and enable faster, more informed decision-making. Drawing on real-world examples and practical frameworks, this presentation will outline how to integrate data, scenario planning, and cross-functional collaboration into a modern workforce strategy. Attendees will gain insight into how to identify critical capabilities, close skills gaps, and build a resilient workforce that can adapt to uncertainty while maintaining a strong employee value proposition and driving long-term business performance.

Los Angeles - Get Your Shift Together: Part 2 (25 Aug 2026)

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:00:00 GMT

In July, we got honest about what's no longer working — the practices, programs, and playbooks that shaped workplace culture in 2020 but haven't kept pace with today's reality. That conversation didn't leave us with easy answers. It left us with a harder question: now what?

On August 25th, the ABC Collective moves from what we're leaving behind to what we're moving toward. This session is about the strategies that are practical, sustainable, and built for the workforce organizations have today — not the one they planned for in 2020.

This conversation gets specific. We'll walk through a real survey story — the gap between how one HR leader experienced her own organization's culture and how her CEO experienced it, and what that gap made possible once it was named out loud. We'll retire a term without retiring the work, trading the old sequence of People, Process, Practices, and Programs for a rewired one: Right Process plus Unbiased Practices plus Inclusive Programs equals People. And we'll talk about standing firm — what it looks like to protect your people even when holding the line is the harder path — closing with a practical, one-page takeaway you can hand your team the same day.

You'll leave with a personal Start | Stop | Do More Of | Do Less Of framework and a 30-Day Action Plan built around one commitment you can begin practicing immediately.

Before you register, sit with this question:

If your team took the same culture survey your leadership team took — would the scores match?

If the honest answer gives you pause, this conversation is for you.

National - Beyond Leadership Styles: Developing Adaptable Leadership for a Changing Workplace (22 Sep 2026)

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Beyond Leadership Styles: Developing Adaptable Leadership for a Changing Workplace

Today's leaders face complex challenges that require more than consistent execution of familiar leadership behaviors. They must navigate complexity while building trust, leading change, and working effectively with people who have different needs, perspectives, and expectations. Yet many leaders continue to rely on familiar approaches, even when a different response would produce better results.Leadership adaptability is the ability to intentionally adjust behaviors based on the needs of the person, the situation, and the desired outcome. This skill helps leaders move beyond default behaviors, make wiser decisions, and lead with greater awareness and intention.

This session introduces the Adaptable Leadership Model, a practical framework built around eight leadership postures that help leaders expand their leadership range. Participants will explore the core characteristics, strengths, and potential overuse patterns of each posture while practicing how to apply the framework to real-world leadership scenarios.

Through reflection, discussion, and activities, participants will use practical tools and mental models to strengthen self-awareness, improve situational judgment, and make more intentional leadership choices. They will identify their own default leadership patterns, recognize opportunities to broaden their approach, and leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately in their everyday leadership.

This session is designed for professionals and leaders who want to strengthen their own leadership effectiveness (and support others in doing likewise) in an increasingly complex workplace.

Key Takeaways & Learning Objectives

Apply the Adaptable Leadership Model to select leadership approaches that fit different people and situations.
Differentiate the eight leadership postures by their strengths, overuse patterns, and best applications.
Practice using mental models and reflection tools to strengthen self-awareness and intentional leadership.

WNY - Influence and Advocacy for People-Centered Practices (24 Sep 2026)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Influence and Advocacy for People-Centered Practices

HR professionals regularly find themselves in the middle of competing needs: employees want flexibility, managers need practical solutions, and organizations need consistency, fairness, and accountability. The challenge is not simply creating better policies and practices. It is understanding how those practices are actually experienced and building the influence needed to connect people-centered approaches to organizational outcomes.

Join Jonathan Hulbert, CEO and Lead Facilitator with Roadmap 4 Change, for an interactive session where participants will explore how formal structures and informal relationships shape how work gets done, identify where policies and processes may create unintended barriers, and practice strategies for advocating for more effective people practices. They will also examine how HR can balance fairness and consistency with the flexibility and judgment needed to respond to different people and situations.

Participants will learn how to:

Recognize how informal relationships and networks influence how work gets done, information travels, and change happens.
Identify when policies and processes may be creating unintended friction, workarounds, or consequences.
Examine how HR can balance fairness and consistency with the need for flexibility and judgment.
Build support for people-centered practices by connecting employee needs with organizational priorities and outcomes.
Strengthen their ability to influence leaders and other stakeholders, even when they do not have direct authority.

St. Louis - The 5 - R Framework (24 Sep 2026)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:30:00 GMT

The 5-R Framework: Building a High-Performance Culture of Trust for the World of Work Ahead

The workforce and the workplace HR professionals are helping companies manage today are dramatically different from just a few years ago – and what’s ahead in the near future. Baby-boomers are retiring in droves, and nearly half of Gen Z say they'd rather build their own business than work for someone else. Employers can't find the people they need at the same time millions of job seekers can't find work, and some economists are projecting massive unemployment in the early 2030s. Add to that, AI is rewriting, in real time, what work looks like and who does it.

In the middle of all this turmoil lies a huge opening for HR professionals: a chance to rise from the typical supporting role to the strategic center of how organizations build the teams they need for what comes next.

Taking advantage of that opportunity will require a more substantial and systemic approach to optimizing workforce performance. In this session, Les Landes will introduce the 5-R Framework: a model for boosting employee engagement and alignment built on five core dimensions — Relevance, Relationships, Roadmap, Routines, and Resources. Drawing on decades of successful client work, Les will show how HR professionals can use the 5-R Framework to help their organizations build the structure and the processes to withstand the test of turbulent times.

Learning Objectives: Attendees will …

Understand why most employee engagement efforts fail to stick, and what distinguishes a true system from a one-off program.

Learn the five dimensions of the 5-R Framework — Relevance, Relationships, Roadmap, Routines, and Resources — and how they work together to build a high-performance culture of trust.

Explore the key factors for management credibility that build or break trust with employees, including a model for constructive accountability that lifts people up instead of beating them down.

Discover how to build routine processes for continuous improvement that give every employee a substantial role in making the organization better every day.

Gain a practical framework for positioning HR as a strategic partner in navigating the workforce trends reshaping how organizations attract, engage, and retain talent.

Background/Bio

Les Landes is President of Landes & Associates, a St. Louis-based management consulting firm specializing in employee engagement, communication, and performance improvement systems. For more than two decades, he has guided organizations in creating high-performance cultures of trust where people are inspired and supported to do their best work and be their best selves.

A Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Professional, Les equips clients with a proven, systematic approach to continuous improvement. He also offers a distinctive Culture Assessment instrument that shows clients the precise gap between their current and desired cultures, along with methods for closing the gaps.

He is a nationally recognized expert on employee engagement and the author of the business fable Getting to the Heart of Employee Engagement, along with more than 40 published articles in professional publications. Before founding Landes & Associates, he led corporate communication for one of the world's largest food companies, where he was responsible for corporate advertising, creative services, public and media relations, consumer affairs, and employee communication. He also played a key role in developing the company's quality management system.

Over the years, Les has helped organizations across many sectors – manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, non-profit and others – turn employee engagement from an aspiration into substantive measurable results.
