Overview
The HR business partner role continues to evolve. AI is reshaping how work gets done, organizations are rethinking work design, and business leaders increasingly expect HRBPs to serve as strategic advisors. These shifts raise important questions not only about which capabilities HRBPs need, but also how organizations can develop them effectively.
In this CAHRScast, CAHRS research assistants Hailey Ryu and Mari Santa Cruz will share findings from interviews with CAHRS partner companies focused on how organizations are developing priority HRBP capabilities and evaluating the effectiveness of those efforts.
The session will highlight common and distinctive development approaches, examine how those practices align with stated capability priorities, and explore how organizations determine whether their development efforts are successful.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to share perspectives from their own organizations and ask questions during the webcast.
Potential topics of discussion
- Which capabilities are organizations prioritizing for HRBPs today?
- How are organizations developing strategic, business, and advisory capabilities among HRBPs?
- What development approaches are most commonly being used?
- Where are organizations taking different or distinctive approaches to HRBP development?
- How well do development practices align with stated HRBP capability priorities?
- How are organizations evaluating whether HRBP development efforts are effective?

Who should attend
This session is designed for HR leaders and practitioners responsible for HRBP development, HR capability building, HR talent management, learning and development, and broader HR transformation efforts.
It will also be relevant for HRBP leaders and senior HR business partners interested in understanding how other organizations are approaching capability development and measuring its impact.
