Steven A. Miranda, SPHR, GPHR
Chief Human Resource and Strategic Planning Officer
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)

While the “7 Deadly Sins” for mere mortals are easy to spot, the “7 Deadly Sins” for the HR strategist are not always as easily identified. And, whether we like it or not, HR is in the risk management business. Successful HR strategists, therefore, must manage risk by avoiding these seven pitfalls while navigating a fast-changing global environment. The presentation also shows why it is important for global HR strategists to know a little bit about music and the key role communication plays in thinking and acting strategically.
