I just completed the Strategic HRBP… I just completed the Strategic HRBP course through HCI and couldn't be more pleased with the course. So many HR professionals discuss the need to be more strategic without ever detailing what that actually means. This course broke it out into very clear sections so that even the most experienced HR professional can clearly identify ways to grow and improve. I recommend this course to anyone that wants to develop into a more strategic HR business partner.

2 Good presentations Two out of the five presenters held my attention. I really thought that Shelly and Justin's material and presentation was the most thought provoking. 2nd would be Elora's presentation. The others felt like they were just reading their slides.

Recertification Process is a Joke Don't expect to have an easy time trying to figure out how many credits you have towards recertifcation. They require a certain amount of credits, but there is not an easy way to determine how many you have. You need to count them invidually. Then to make matters worse, their recertification process requires you to upload a copy of your HCI transcript, but that cannot be downloaded. I guess they want you to screenshot it. I am incredibly disappointed, but have to play their games because I need recertification.

The facilitator was brilliant The facilitator was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, patient and kept excellent time. The content was so rich, however, that it probably needed more time than the allotted two days to do it justice. And some of that time might be spent working through some of the concepts in workshop mode. But make no mistake, I'd certainly recommend this program!

Great speaker; bad tech issues Great speaker, but very bad technical issues. The speaker's laptop had some weird intermittent technical issues throughout the two day course. Sometimes we heard him plainly, while other times his voice cut out or sounded garbled like he was talking underwater. THe speaker is very knowledgeable and provided good insights and examples. It was just a shame to have tech delays and interruptions. For a pricey course, I expected top notch from HCI. I contacted my HCI account liaison, and he was helpful during the process.
