Message from IITD’s President
Kevin Hannigan, IITD President and Head of Talent Consulting at hpc Global
Picking up the Baton
Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Training and Development.
This issue comes at a very interesting time formany of us. A new issue of amagazine allows us time to reflect on what we have achieved in the past year. Very often we can get caught up in the day-to-day business and neglect to consider all that we have achieved. For those of you involved in the National Training Awards, I hope the entry process and the awards ceremony brought great pride as you reflected on your achievements and the impact that your work has had on your organisations. You can read some of the highlights fromthe night frompage 10.
This is also an opportunity to reflect with great pride on our 2018 Annual Conference in Croke Park. The energy, passion and sense of community in the roomon December 6th was palpable. This was only possible through the extraordinary work of the teamin the office and the great work done by Eamonn Eaton in curating the day. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone at the 2019 Annual Conference on December 4th in Croke Park so Save the Date!
A new year also brings new challenges as we consider how we continue to demonstrate the impact of our work, how to remain relevant in a world of flux and how we ensure that we continue to upskill ourselves. I hope that some of the articles in this edition will provide some challenge and hopefully some answers. There is an interesting delve into unearthing ‘The HiddenWorkforce’, we catch up with Kerry Group COO Mike Doyle, Paul Donovan has an article on Essential Learning for New Managers and Donald Taylor has a piece on Learning Technologies.
This year, the IITD celebrates its 50th anniversary and this is also a time for reflection for all of us as practitioners. Over the course of the year, we hope to celebrate thismilestone inmany different ways. Inmany respects, one of the easiest ways that we can honour the legacy of the pioneers who founded the Institute in 1969 is to reflect on how we can position the Institute for the coming years and to ensure that we continue to remain relevant and that we put the development of people at the core of our work.Whether that is: teaching somebody a skill that keeps themsafe; sharing knowledge that ignites a passion; or facilitating a culture of positivemental health, people are at the heart of what we do and why we do it.
Forme personally, this is also an opportunity to reflect as I write this first column as President of the Institute. Itmeans a lot to represent this extraordinary community and to continue the fantastic work of allmy predecessors but in particular Nicola O’Neill. Nicola has worked wholeheartedly for the past four years as President and her impact will be felt formany years to come. It is an honour to succeed her and I look forward to working with her, the Directors, Council, full-time teamand each of you over the coming year.
