How do you rebuild credibility, win over sceptics, and prove HR’s value when everyone’s watching and the clock is ticking? 

Heidi Sichien (Chief People Officer, Philips) shows how turning the corporate battleship starts by turning strategy into story.  

This is the second instalment in our series of candid webinars exploring what it takes to transform HR in real-time. It’s an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation between Octavius Black (MindGym), Hein Knaapen (CEO Works), and Heidi Sichien (Chief People Officer, Philips). Expect tough questions, honest answers, and practical strategies you won’t find in any textbook. 

Sixty minutes. Zero fluff. 

What you’ll walk away with: 

  • How to rebuild trust when HR’s reputation is in tatters: Heidi’s playbook for shifting sceptics to sponsors—even when the chips are down. 
  • The 'stop doing' list that boards wish every HR leader had: Learn what to ditch, what to double down on, and how to cut “HR theatre” for measurable impact. 
  • An ROI blueprint you can actually use—plus the mindset to make it stick: Steal the framework that turned HR from a cost centre into the CEO’s secret weapon (and get your sticky questions answered live).
