The Josh Bersin Institute, HR 2030, And The Global HR Excellence Certification.

This week we welcome 450 senior HR leaders to our fifth annual Irresistible Conference at the beautiful USC campus in Los Angeles. I want to highlight the big announcements we’re making.

First, the launch of The Josh Bersin Institute and the Global HR Excellence Certification Program.

Yes, we’ve taken all our research, case studies, maturity models, and vendor information and put it into an experiential, case study based Certification Program to teach you the world’s best practices in all areas of HR. It’s called the Global HR Excellence Certification, or GHRE.

This is not only a training and certification program, but much much more.

Developed in partnership with the USC Marshall School of Business, the GHRE (Global HR Excellence Certification) gives participants real-world, hands-on experience with complex problem solving issues in HR. Through business simulation and cohort-based learning you experience real situations, industry examples, and learn about our maturity models in every domain. And since it’s built on the Galileo Learn platform, you experience AI throughout.

Every GHRE graduate learns to use Galileo and you’ll also have the full Galileo Suite of tools (with 760 courses) to take with you when you complete the program.

During the 12 week, 50 hour program you meet a peer group and get a chance to apply what you’ve learned in a real-world company. So you will walk away ready to deal with complex problems. As a GHRE graduate you then become part of our Institute Alumni Network, where we’ll be holding career development and networking activities throughout.

The Josh Bersin Institute takes our 30+ years of research, advisory, and technology work and and gives you the knowledge, breadth, and confidence to operate as a senior HR consultant, advisor, or operational leader. This certification is designed for HR professionals and consultants, CHROs, and technology providers – anyone who loves the world of human capital and wants to deepen their capabilities.

And this is a living, ongoing Certification. Our job in the JBI is to make sure this program is always up to date, relevant, and filled with world-class examples. And as a licensed owner of Galileo, you have access to all our research and tools for the following year.

We will also be actively promoting the GHRE to employers around the world, and listing your names (if you give us permission), so JBI Certified professionals see new career opportunities in the market.

I guarantee that once you complete and pass this rigorous program you’ll have the confidence to take on new challenges in the world of HR, leadership, and AI transformation.

Sign up now for our inaugural program starting this summer!

Second Announcement: The HR 2030 Program and HR 2030 Blueprint

The second announcement this week is the formal launch of HR 2030, our global initiative to build a reference architecture, research, case studies, and vision for Agentic HR. This initiative gives you the blueprint to plan your Agentic HR roadmap.

As AI sweeps across the market, the HR 2030 program gives you the vision, architecture, details, and vendor analysis to plan your future. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to rethink what HR does, how it works, and how you operate as a global HR function. Not only are we doing the hard work to pull together trends and solutions, we can educate you on where to start.

HR 2030 licensed users (through our corporate membership) will gain access to our Agentic HR Reference Blueprint, case studies, technical guides, education, vendor analysis, and our team to help with workshops and other strategic discussions.

The HR 2030 program is expansive and open. We want to hear your examples, how you’re adapting AI to your needs, and where you find the most value. The program includes formal education (our introductory HR 2030 course is now live in Galileo Learn) and a more advanced curriculum later in the year.

You can get access to all the HR 2030 tools and education by joining our corporate membership.
