Background: From "Execution" to "Results" – New Questions for HR

The focus of HR issues is shifting from "execution" to "results." There are still many HR departments that cannot connect strategy to the front lines, visualize results, and continuously drive the organization. Connecting HR strategy with management results. We believe that what is necessary for this is a new "question" to update HR. "HR NOVA SUMMIT 2026 Summer" has been planned as a day to address these questions through three approaches.

From the HR NOVA SUMMIT Executive Office

We certainly feel the impact of HR initiatives.

However, converting that into the language of management results is still difficult—.

We have heard such voices from many HR leaders.

HR NOVA SUMMIT has been designed as a place to think together about "proving HR strategy with management results."

A day for 100 HR leaders, primarily from major corporations, to gather.

Generating questions in KEYNOTE,

Deepening discussions in ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION,

Finding answers in CASE STUDY SESSION.

By repeating these three steps with three different perspectives,

We offer an experience to re-examine the current status of your company's HR strategy in a three-dimensional way.
