In this session, we’ll share research that uncovered the impacts of misalignment between HR and organizational goals. When HR and business priorities are out of sync, even the best strategies can fall short in execution, leading to missed opportunities and diluted impact.
Misalignment can lead to disconnects between strategy and real-world results, creating hurdles for even the most promising HR initiatives. It also often creates a disconnect between the workforce and HR, where employees may feel their experience doesn’t match their expectations – and HR leaders think they’re providing their employees with what they need.
We’ll also explore how talent intelligence can help bridge these gaps, with real-life examples from organizations leading the way in building stronger alignment – resulting in greater harmony between talent strategies with broader business objectives.

As GE HealthCare embarked on its journey as an independent company in 2023, we were presented with a unique opportunity to redefine our culture.
We believe that a company’s culture is critical to its success and a key enabler of sustainable business growth. When intentional and healthy, culture can be a catalyst for achieving our strategy, enhancing our ability to execute plans and achieve long-term goals. Conversely, if not intentional and healthy, culture can become a distraction, impact momentum, and act as a barrier.
In this session, we will delve into the core principles that guided our cultural evolution and how you can put them into practice within your organization. By embracing these principles, we aim to create a culture where each of our 53,000 colleagues across the globe feel empowered to do their best work and help us create a world where healthcare has no limits.
