Virgin entrepreneur extraordinaire Sir Richard Branson will be a keynote speaker at SAP’s SuccessConnect event in London in June.
Branson’s Virgin Group has created more than 400 companies over the years, and Virgin companies now employ 71,000 people in 35 countries. He is the only individual to build eight billion-dollar companies in eight different sectors.
To be held at the ExCeL London convention centre from 12-14 June, this year’s SuccessConnect will take as a key theme how HR transformation is moving beyond automation to a digital approach, and ways that HR practitioners can use digital technologies to transform the employee experience and realise the business benefits of this transformation. The event will also focus on how HCM solutions can help maximise each employee’s potential and future-proof their HR systems.
“One of the key reasons for hosting SuccessConnect annually is to provide a forum to share the views of leaders from across industries with our guests,” said Mike Ettling, president of SAP SuccessFactors.
“Sir Richard Branson is one of the most singular voices in the business world. The enormous success of his companies is due to the fact that Richard has never lost sight of what truly drives a great company: its people. We invited him to join us to share his thoughts and experience that business success is derived by putting people first, and to inspire us all to champion our people every day.”
Sir Richard Branson will present at 4:30pm on Wednesday 14 June.
