Capella University PhD Student Presents on Human Resources Leadership at Oxford Round Table
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 21, 2006
Eileen Timmins, a PhD student of Capella Universityâs School of Business and Technology, presented on human resources leadership at the Oxford Round Table 2006 Women in Leadership Conference at Exeter College in Oxford, England, on Aug. 7.
Timminâs presentation, âLeadership within Human Resources: How is it possible for Human Resource Leaders to become Central Players at the Highest Levels of Organizational Decision-Making?,â highlighted strategies that human resource leaders can use to develop credibility and influence, specifically women human resource leaders who want a more central role in developing organizational strategy and direction.
âIt was a remarkable experience. Not only the atmosphere of Oxford University with its history and knowledge, but also the women leaders I met in the academic world. The exchange of knowledge was just an exceptional learning event,â Timmins said.
Timmins is a senior partner of human resources at JWT, a Chicago-based advertising agency. She is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Management at DePaul University. The presentation she gave at Oxford is based on a paper she wrote for her PhD comprehensives at Capella University. Capella, which is an accredited online university and a leader in online education, has designed its human resource curriculum to meet competencies identified by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
