Conference speakers are not at all times a budget priority in business U.K. There are legitimate arguments sometimes and other times it is apparently about penny-wise and pound foolish mindsets. When you embark on a journey of employee development as an organization, you do not have to show mercy to the budget. Sometimes U.K. organizations will be very aware of clamping down on the expenses and H.R. development initiatives will be the first to go. But analyze the financial statements and you will see a waste of resources on stuff that is debatable. Be stingy on learning and development and you will end up with stingy customers. It always works like that. One tactic to demonstrate that people development is a priority, is to call on the services of conference speakers from elsewhere to sows seeds of learning.
