People Management
Forum
People Management Forum is the flagship event of Performance Strategies, now part of ROI Group.
MILAN AND ONLINE
A full day with leading international experts to explore new perspectives on team management, collaboration, and organizational culture.
Organizations today face new and complex challenges: from the strategic integration of AI to talent gaps, from building a new corporate culture to developing renewed managerial capabilities. To tackle them, strategies and management models need to be rethought, placing the development of all people in the company at the center: the real inclusive engine of change that generates results and impact.
The People Management Forum is the new event dedicated to managers, HR professionals, team leaders, and key figures in companies who want to rethink the role of people in organizations from every angle, to build more effective and sustainable workplaces.
During the day, we will delve into how to develop corporate cultures based on collaboration, engagement, autonomy, and widespread accountability. We will explore organizational models and operational tools to lead cohesive, agile, high-performing teams, and we will analyze new frameworks and tools to steer processes and innovation while keeping the human factor as the central lever for development.
