In her Speech, Dr. Villa pointed out two important messages:

To the Academia: "Academia has come a long way in its efforts to come closer with the industry, and must continue these efforts, which focus on quality and targeting".

To HR executives: "In the world in which we operate today, HR VP is the CEO's best friend, and must better understand the business and characterize the organization and its needs from the CEO's perspective. It is no longer the traditional definition of HR VP as we once knew it".
