As Jack Stack predicted in his keynote speech several years ago, it’s the organizations with the best talent that will dominate their market. That’s why it’s time to up your "people game" by rethinking the strategic role of human relations (HR) inside every organization.
In his keynote speech, Jack Stack, CEO of SRC, will talk about how SRC is rethinking the role of the HR department in their organization by shifting their priorities from compliance and risk management to talent development and culture building. In short, they’re giving HR a seat at the strategic table.

Jack Stack
CEO / President, SRC Holdings Corp.
We are thrilled to bring two big names in People Strategy back to the stage virtually to continue the conversation on elevating the role of Human Resources. Patty McCord (of "Netflix culture deck" fame) and Ann Rhoades (former "people" executive at JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and Doubletree Hotels) have seen first hand how making HR part of the executive strategy team can catapult organizational performance.
No longer just a back-end support service responsible for administering the mundane duties of compensation, benefits, payroll, training, and onboarding, HR is the function that is best suited to unleash the power of your greatest competitive advantage: your people.
SRC's EVP of HR Krisi Schell will facilitate this lively conversation between Patty, Ann and Jack Stack, and will explore how to get HR more involved in the strategic direction of a company, why this move tends to face push back, and what will happen to the organizations too set in their outdated ways.

SRC Holdings Corporation is a 100% Employee-Owned Company employing over 1,200 people, with sales of over $450,000,000 located in Springfield, Missouri. While SRC’s chief business is remanufacturing, the company is best known for being the birthplace of open-book management. Once a failing division of International Harvester, SRC made national headlines when CEO, Jack Stack, used unconventional measures to turn the company around.
Under Stack’s leadership, employees started playing “The Great Game of Business®”. The Game was a way to teach employees how business worked in a way that was unintimidating and would make sense to everyone: using the analogy of a game. Using this method, SRC became one of the biggest turn-around stories of its time.
Thirty years later, SRC Holdings Corporation operates 31 business units including joint ventures with John Deere, Case New Holland and Navistar, and maintains two venture capital incubator funds. SRC Holdings Corporation has received international recognition because of its success, including the Top 100 Companies to Work for in America, WorldBlu Most Democratic Workplaces, the National Business Ethics Award and the Business Enterprise Trust Award.

Bio: From her many years working with companies that range from very large global tech companies to small very small innovative start-ups, Patty saw first-hand how companies can become slow and complacent and employees become cynics and whiners. She spent 14 years at Netflix experimenting with new ways to work. Making the Netflix culture deck become reality for the people who work there. From abolishing performance reviews to challenging the need for policies, Patty believes people come to work as fully formed adults with a desire to make an impact and be proud of what they do and she’s on a mission to spread the word that we can do this differently. She is frequently in the media with interviews and articles from Harvard Business Review, NPR, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal. She speaks at CEO Forums, Business schools and for large groups around the world.
