9:00 AM PT

Join Haris Ikram, CEO & Co-Founder of CandorIQ, and Jeet Mukerji, CEO & Co-Founder of Kinfolk, for a candid conversation on why so many companies get stuck between great planning and actual performance.

It’s no longer enough to fund the headcount—HR leaders need to ensure the right structure, compensation strategy, and manager capability are in place to turn plans into outcomes. Haris and Jeet will share insights from their work with growing companies:

  • How to make headcount planning a strategic advantage

  • Why manager enablement is the missing link in execution

  • And how today’s HR teams are using data and development together to fuel performance

Whether you’re planning for scale, rethinking how your managers lead, or looking for new ways to align HR investments with business results, this session is for you.
