From HR Function To Strategic Influence: Building Trust, Credibility & Impact In The AI Era
From HR Function to Strategic Influence
Building Trust, Credibility & Impact in the AI Era
Your CEO wants HR to be more strategic. But when business decisions are made, how much influence do you actually have?
Perhaps you've experienced this:
- You're asked to implement decisions you weren't involved in making.
- You raise concerns about people risks, but business leaders are focused on costs and targets.
- You have ideas to improve performance, but struggle to get leadership buy-in.
- You're constantly solving people problems, leaving little time to build your own influence.
Sound familiar?
Being good at HR doesn't automatically make you influential. So what does?
Join Sam Neo and Benny Rachmadin for an intimate evening of sharing and conversations with fellow HR leaders in Jakarta.
Drawing from their HR leadership experiences, alongside insights from Sam's new book Good Attracts Good, we'll explore how to move beyond HR expertise and become someone business leaders genuinely trust, listen to, and involve in important decisions.
💡 What we'll explore
🌱 From HR support to strategic partner: How to build credibility so you're involved in conversations before decisions are made.
🤝 From resistance to buy-in: How understanding stakeholders and building genuine relationships can strengthen your influence.
📖 From doing good work to being recognised for it: How storytelling helps you communicate HR's value in a way business leaders understand.
🌏 From facing challenges alone to growing together: Exchange real experiences and build meaningful connections with HR leaders across Indonesia.

🧡 Let's Grow Our Influence, Together.
Inspired by Sam's new book, Good Attracts Good, this gathering brings together three principles: Storytelling, Value Exchange, and Community Building.
Expect honest conversations, practical perspectives, and the opportunity to connect with people who understand the challenges you face.
Because HR shouldn't just be invited to execute decisions. We should have the trust and influence to help shape them.
