INTOO was proud to sponsor London HR Connection’s exclusive dinner event, Building True Influence in the Board and C-Suite.
Held at The Ivy City Garden in London, the event brought together a select group of senior HR professionals for an evening of networking, discussion and shared insight.
Exploring HR influence at senior level
The event focused on an important question for HR leaders. How can HR genuinely build influence and demonstrate value in the boardroom and C-suite?
As organisations continue to navigate change, HR leaders are expected to shape culture, support performance and guide people strategy. However, influence at senior level is not always automatic.
Because of this, the discussion explored how HR professionals can strengthen their voice, build credibility and show clear commercial impact.
A valuable space for senior HR leaders
The evening created a relaxed and supportive setting for peer networking. Attendees had the chance to connect over dinner, share experiences and discuss common challenges.
It also offered space to explore how HR can move beyond operational delivery and play a more strategic role in business decision-making.
For many HR leaders, this means linking people priorities more clearly to business outcomes. It also means building trusted relationships with the board, senior leaders and key stakeholders.
Demonstrating value in the C-suite
The discussion looked at the practical ways HR can demonstrate value at the highest level.
This included how HR leaders can use insight, evidence and experience to shape strategic conversations. It also considered how people issues can be positioned as business-critical topics.
From workforce planning and organisational change to leadership capability and employee engagement, HR has a vital role to play. Therefore, building influence in the boardroom is essential.
