We are delighted to welcome you to the ppmA 2013 Annual Seminar in Bristol. this year’s event builds on the energy and success of last year’s seminar held in Birmingham and reflects the ever-changing national picture by focussing in on the broader centre-stage role that we in the hr profession need to take.

the economy is still struggling and this isn’t going to change. our key role in hr is to maximise the human talent and potential all around us, no matter where that comes from, by helping provide tangible opportunities as best we can. By doing this we will naturally enhance our people, our organisations and the economic prosperity of uK plc.

From this platform the 2013 theme “talent, opportunity, prosperity” was born.

models of public service delivery are developing, and both the voluntary and private sectors are key in supporting the public sector in making radical changes and to delivering real outcomes for our communities. the speakers and content at this event acknowledge the direction of travel that all sectors are taking in the modern day delivery of public services. these two days will give us the valuable opportunity to learn from each other, share ideas and expertise, and garner energy and determination for the challenging year ahead.

We hope you enjoy it.

11.40am peering into the Workforce of the Future Sponsored by pricewaterhousecoopers


introduced by Andreas Ghosh, ppmA Board member

Speaker: ian tomlinson-roe, partner and head of hr consulting Services to the public Sector and Juliet Stuttard, hr Services, pricewaterhousecoopers

content: Significant increases in demand for services coupled with an ever reducing financial envelope across the public sector is placing real focus on the way that services are delivered and even whether services can be delivered. Workforce costs are the single biggest element of spend; the focus on how and where resources are deployed is therefore key. looking to the future our people will need to be focused around the outcomes that our diverse communities require, almost regardless of which organisation employs the individual. this session will focus on the macro changes that are taking place to demography and their impact on the economic environment to explore what the different workforce scenarios may be. We will then consider the impact of these scenarios on the people management strategy for organisations delivering ‘public services’.

introduced by louise tibbert, ppmA Board member

Speaker: Daniel hibbert, principal, mercer

content: this session draws on best practice from within the uK and more widely to show how public sector organisations can take a fresh approach to talent management and reward. it will show how applying a “one size fits all” approach in a complex and diverse workforce can be expensive and lead to disengaged employees.

introduced by leatham Green and raffaela Goodby, ppmA Board members

content: the “rising Stars” initiative was introduced by the ppmA during 2012 with the intent of identifying rising and developing hr/oD talent within the ppmA membership. the initiative attracted high interest from the membership and the media from the start and those entering the competition have been put through their paces to get to the final stage. the winner of the rising Stars challenge will have the privilege of speaking at the Seminar to delegates to exemplify why they have been judged to be the 2013 ppmA rising Star.

3.00pm the public Services landscape for the Future – 2020 Sponsored by GatenbySanderson


introduced by Dilys Wynn, ppmA Board member

Speakers: richard hawkes, chief executive, Scope, and Sheila Wheeler, chief executive, Somerset county council

content: the final speaker session of the ppmA programme will discuss the changing face of public services, from both a public sector and voluntary sector perspective. the discussion will delve into the developing public service space, where the traditional boundaries of public, private and voluntary sectors are becoming so blurred as to be meaningless. inter-dependence between sectors is increasing in the delivery of public services and in serving communities. is this simply a contractual relationship or something far more? this session will identify with the current trend in public service and gaze into the crystal ball to see what the future is likely to hold.

introduced by raffaela Goodby, ppmA Board member

Speaker: Jill Youds, executive Director, Virgin media Services

content: the Virgin brand and that of richard Branson himself, speaks volumes about the company. But what is it that makes Virgin so unique, not just viewed from the market place, but also by its employees?

this session will explore the behind the scenes view of the Virgin brand, what makes the company and its employees tick.

using charisma to Drive up performance

introduced by nigel Fairburn, ppmA Board member

Speaker: nikki owen, charisma and engagement expert, Audience with charisma

content: the austerity measures have led to an increased emphasis on raising performance and productivity and the economic outlook means that this must continue still further. public services are delivered by people for people and the need to motivate employees has never been so high. this calls on exceptional leadership skills, harnessed in such a way that fully engages the workforce to want to deliver its best.

this session will explore the personal influence that leaders and managers inherently have and start to explore how best to exhibit our own personality and charisma to positive effect.

raising hr’s credibility

introduced by Anne Gibson, ppmA Board member

Speaker: hamish Davidson, hr commentator

content: hr has moved a long way over the last decade or two… or has it?

this session will be a challenging and thought provoking meander into the world of hr and its role in modern commerce. it will explore the perceptions of the hr profession in terms of fact and fiction and discuss how the profession can really up its game to demonstrate its true worth.

At a time when we all have to demonstrate our cost benefit and maximise our professional worth, self-reflection is important for us all.
