Head of Learning and Development at MHA (3k+ employees)
Prior to succumbing to the call of Accountancy, Dominique had earned his MSc. in Archaeology and spent numerous years digging big holes with the University of Cambridge’s Archaeological Unit. It was through Archaeology that he became particularly fascinated with the mechanisms of cultural change and how these can be applied to the current world on both micro and macro levels. Years later, qualifying as an ACA with PwC, he quickly refocused his career into the Accountancy L&D sectors, where he has spent the past 18 years striving to create engaging environments for professional skills development at all levels. In doing so, he continuously draws on his previous interests as he attempts to make sense of the shifts in trends he sees around him, and how they can be used to positively impact the people within his organisation. Dominique has spent the past 10 years as Head of Learning and Development of MHA (part of the Baker Tilley International Network), and has quite possibly never been happier.

Joanna Coben-Scott
In complex organizations with the changing nature of work, Learning and Organizational Development can no longer remain a support service on the fringe. With a wide reach within organizations and armed with more knowledge than we give ourselves credit for, L&OD is well placed to be a strategic partner and business accelerator. In this segment, we will explore practical co-creation approaches that will help you develop relationships with your business, deeply understand their problems and goals, and build practical solutions with the mindset of a performance consultant.
Rucha Gokhale
We hear so much today about sustainability, including related issues like net-zero carbon, biodiversity, or social value, to name a few. No longer on the fringe, these topics are shaping how businesses operate, and more and more organisations recognise that sustainable business practices make good business sense. Sustainability helps companies reduce costs, enhance reputation, attract investment, and avoid risks, It’s also an increasingly important priority to a large portion of the talent pool. In this session, we will explore the role of HR in sustainability and what HR leaders and their teams can and should be doing to ensure their organisations are maximising the significant benefits that sustainability offers, not least in attracting and retaining the best talent.
Luke Wynne
Coffee break/Networking session
Managing one’s organisational culture can be a powerful tool in helping your people learn and develop, particularly in times of transition and change. However, it is also a tool that is often taken for granted. As it can be all too easy to assume it is either something we have little control over, or more dangerously, assume that it is already set the way we want it to be. Going back to his Anthropological / Archaeological roots, Dominique will first be revisiting what we mean by culture and examining some ideas regarding the mechanisms by which cultures operate. From this, we will be exploring a practical framework that L&D (and other) teams can use to better understand, and even shape, the cultural environment around them. Allowing us a chance to proactively wield culture as a tool for the change and growth we want, rather than treating it as a passive environment that just reacts to our intentions.
Dominique Austin Bruno
The best ideas don’t win. The best-presented ideas do. Quieter, less compelling people in a workplace often get ignored. They might have better ideas, but if they can’t capture an audience and get their point across, they can be passed over. Advancement of the company and its goals is enhanced when a workforce gains the presentation skills to get their ideas across in a way that results in action. In this talk, Andrew Schlussel will demonstrate how you can succeed in delivering this training and why it is crucial to empower your employees, create a more equitable environment, and invigorate your company.
Andrew Schlussel
A recent UK study revealed a critical disconnect: most UK workers are risk-averse, yet our organizations desperately need innovation to thrive. How do we fix this? By embedding a growth mindset culture, where employees feel safe to learn from mistakes and take risks.
