Expand Your Team’s Strategic Reach and Business Influence
Introducing HCI’s Advanced Strategic HR Business Partner (Advanced SHRBP), the next level of the acclaimed Strategic HR Business Partner accreditation.
Moving beyond scenario-based learning, the new advanced version requires HR Business Partners to bring current organizational challenges they're actively working to solve. Through peer consulting, business simulations, and applied exercises, they'll explore systems dynamics, behavioral economics in talent strategy, and scenario planning for future disruptions.
This is a hands-on learning lab where participants will pressure-test solutions, receive structured feedback, and practice influencing under real-world executive conditions. Teams leave with sharper strategies for their real business challenges, stronger influence capabilities, and accountability partnerships to sustain progress long after the program ends.
Program At a Glance:
- Duration: Two days
- Format: Facilitator-led, available for in-person and virtual delivery

What is the difference between Strategic HR Business Partner and Advanced Strategic HR Business Partner?
Advanced SHRBP is the next step beyond SHRBP, designed for HR leaders ready to move from strategic alignment to enterprise impact. While SHRBP builds the foundation of strategic partnership, Advanced SHRBP deepens their consulting, influence, and decision-making capabilities with senior stakeholders.
Participants bring a real organizational challenge and apply advanced tools to solve it throughout the program. It’s the evolution from HR Business Partner to true strategic advisor.

Should my team complete Strategic HR Business Partner before Advanced Strategic HR Business Partner?
Advanced SHRBP is designed to work both as a stand-alone experience or as a natural progression from our foundational SHRBP program. While it’s designed to build upon concepts introduced in SHRBP, completing that program first is not required.
Can I purchase Advanced Strategic HR Business Partner for myself?
Advanced SHRBP is currently designed exclusively for internal teams and cohorts. However, we're working on an open enrollment option—stay tuned!
