ENTERPRISE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION: WHY THESE MATTER FOR THE NEW HR PROFESSIONAL

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore and stimulate discussion around the changes to the way people work in the near future and what this means to the HR Professional. Much has been written about the changes to the way people work through automation of work tasks. What is emerging from the literature is that certain skills and abilities will disappear while others emerge or increase in value. This paper is intended to stimulate discussion amongst HR Professionals about the need for enterprising, entrepreneurial and innovative behaviours, not only amongst the HR Professional, but also amongst the employees that they will work with. The paper is built around a Keynote Speech given at the International Scientific Jubilee Conference MHRO2018:Transforming the business for future: Building a modern HR organization, in Skopje, Macedonia, October 2018.
