CRF (Corporate Research Forum), Malta. Turning uncertainty into advantage. 5-7 October 2026. #CRFCONF

Harvard Business Review is proud to partner with Corporate Research Forum (CRF) to offer an exclusive discount for the HR research and learning network’s annual International Conference: Turning Uncertainty into Advantage.

Only 50% of business leaders believe their organizations are ready for the next wave of shocks and disruptions—a stark signal that uncertainty has outpaced traditional planning.

Join CRF and 200 senior HR leaders in Malta from October 5-7, 2026 to:

Understand uncertainty: The societal, geopolitical, economic factors at play, how they affect organizations and how they can be harnessed to improve learning, innovation and performance.
Adapt to uncertainty: How to structure your organization for complexity and embed strategic resilience into your HR approach.
Exploit uncertainty: Clear frameworks and peer insights to create meaningful disruption and design experiments that can scale.

CRF is founded on the ethos that HR’s purpose is to drive improved organizational performance, and its International Conference takes a business-first approach.

As a previous attendee put it: “Your knowledge of your community and what we need to hear is second-to-none. However, it’s your ability to build rapport and create genuine connections that I think is the true differentiator.”

Hear from:

Gianpiero Petriglieri, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, INSEAD
Prof. Dr. Gudela Grote, Full Professor, Department of Management, Technology, and Economics, ETH Zurich
Vaughn Tan, Professor of Strategy, University College London
Julia Binder, Professor of Business Transformation, IMD
Robert Ward, Director of Geoeconomics & Strategy, Japan Chair, The International Institute for Strategic Studies
Sudhanshu Palsule, Author, Educator, Leadership Advisor, and Keynote Speaker
