Don't Just Learn It.

Do It.

Every credentialed session moves you toward something tangible, the HR-X Credential.

Before you arrive in Chicago, a brief set of questions about your work — not a test of your knowledge — recommends the dimension and level where your time will have the greatest impact. You choose whether to keep that recommendation or select another.

No starting over. No sitting through material you've already mastered. Your experience begins where you are and is designed to move you forward.

Throughout your learning journey, expert instruction turns into application.

You'll practice new skills, capture executable strategies in your personal playbook and put what you've learned to work in a culminating capstone lab. Your credential isn't earned by showing up. It's earned by doing.

Pursue your credential across one of four HR-X dimensions:

Talent Optimization

Master the full talent engine from development and performance to employee experience and analytics — with AI as your multiplier. Build the workforce of 2030 while everyone else staffs for 2027.

Organizational Impact
Organizational Impact

For the HR leader who must prove it. Build the financial case for HR with real evidence, not correlation guesswork, so you walk into the boardroom with an argument that holds up.

Functional Acceleration
Functional Acceleration

Learn how advanced HR technologies can automate the work consuming your team's time and help you do more with the team you have.
