MARCH 2019 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The U.S. and California economies remain on track to avoid a recession in 2019, though elevated risks abound. These risks point to key factors to watch as the latter part of the year unfolds. And the soft housing markets, jitters on Wall Street and trade disputes all point to uncertainties in 2019. One key to continued growth in Los Angeles is the health of the tech industry, and in particular the transformation of the entertainment industry with new technologies. The March 2019 UCLA Anderson Forecast presents an analysis of these and other issues with the rollout of its next report.

Dean's Series - FULL-SPECTRUM THINKING IN A POST-OUTBREAK WORLD ~ Dr. Bob Johansen
2021-02-12 11:30 - 13:00
Dr. Bob Johansen, a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley and friend of HARRT, has been doing ten-year forecasting for more than thirty years, with remarkable accuracy. In this talk, he will share his latest forecasts for the post-outbreak world, with a focus on opportunities and threats for the human resources function. Full-spectrum thinking is the ability to seek clarity across gradients of possibility–while resisting the temptations of certainty and simplistic labeling. Bob will discuss how leaders can think in full-spectrum ways, particularly across the spectrum of human/computer potential. Digital augmentation of humans will be mandatory to thrive in the future and Bob will provide his latest thinking about how leaders of the future can thrive in an increasingly digital world.
*As a follow-on to this discussion, Bob will facilitate a BOOK CLUB exclusively for HARRT Senior Executive Members on February 16 & 26. As part of membership, each participating HARRT Executive member will receive a complimentary digital copy of Bob’s new book: Full-Spectrum Thinking: How to Escape Boxes in a Post-Categorical Future

Dean's Series - LEADERS of the FUTURE: Unleashing the Power of Psychological Safety ~ Dr. Amy Edmondson
2021-03-19 11:45 - 12:45 | virtual
The past year has resulted in major disruptions to corporate strategies and operations as a result of the global pandemic, digital transformation, economic uncertainty, and social discourse. As corporate leaders rethink how their organizations will perform in the future, there is a renewed emphasis on creating an inclusive organization to encourage the development of creative, innovative, and productive teams.

For many years, Amy C. Edmondson, Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School and author of the book “The Fearless Organization” and Martijn Sjoorda, Co-Founder, The Fearless Organization, have studied how creating psychological safety is the key ingredient to develop high-performing, humane, and resilient leaders for the future.
Please join UCLA’s Professor Corinne Bendersky as she interviews our speakers and they discuss how to build competitive and innovative organizations in the future by:

Exploring the link between psychological safety and high performance
Creating a speak-up culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes
Nurturing the level of engagement and candor required to succeed in today’s new economy

Each attendee will receive access to a survey to gauge your personal level of psychological safety in your organization.

Week 1 - Fearless Book Club Lunchtime Series For People Leaders - How to create a psychologically safe workplace
2021-03-23 12:00 - 13:00 | virtual
When employees don’t have the freedom to speak up, it can erode your employee engagement. That’s one reason why cultivating psychological safety is so important.
Inspired by the Fearless Organization by Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, this fully on-line 4-week FEARLESS book club series is designed for leaders in Human Resources, Organization Development, Learning & Development, and Talent Management as well as organizational leaders who are people-centric and committed to creating a workplace where employees can bring their full selves to work every day.
