Odgers Berndtson and Berwick Partners (an Odgers Berndtson company) hosted a breakfast event for Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs) CEOs on Thursday 30th January, at our offices in Cannon Street. We discussed the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR), the process used to set out the government's spending plans for the next 5 years, determining budget allocation with the aim of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending. We were grateful to Oliver Morley CBE, CEO for the Money and Pensions Service who led a round table discussion on the following key themes: ➡️ Differing Implications of the CSR Cycle: We explored how the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) cycle impacts central government departments compared to ALBs, particularly during times of organisational transformation. ➡️ Challenges and Opportunities in the CSR Process: We discussed the opportunities and challenges of the CSR process and its alignment with organisational strategy and the new government’s missions. There was real energy and enthusiasm for the positive impact ALBs can have through their priorities, and how this moment sets the stage for adapting and delivering over the next five years. ➡️ Diverse Operating Models and Governance Structures of ALBs: We considered the variety of operating models and governance structures of ALBs, and the implications that they have for how ALBs approach the CSR process. There was debate regarding the concept of establishing overarching principles for government ALBs, and whether could this lead to more meaningful productivity analysis and an increased focus on impact. ➡️ Balancing Accountability and Autonomy for ALBs: For ALBs, delivering outcomes for the public is crucial. Leaders must balance accountability to sponsoring departments with the autonomy needed to lead effectively and achieve the best results. Thank you to all attendees for a productive discussion. #ALB #CEO #ExecutiveSearch #WhereLeadershipMatters Anna Dickinson (MCIPD), Caitlin Tickell

Odgers Berndtson Asia Pacific recently surveyed HR leaders across the region to uncover the key trends shaping talent management in 2025. As organisations navigate a fast-changing landscape, these insights highlight critical areas of focus and opportunities to stay ahead: ✔️ Optimistic yet pragmatic outlook: While most HR leaders feel somewhat or fully prepared for the talent management challenges of 2025, over half report little to no change in budgets. This signals a need for creative strategies to achieve more with existing resources. ✔️ Talent attraction and retention dominate: Attracting and retaining top talent remains the most pressing priority. Leaders are doubling down on initiatives to build compelling employee value propositions, foster engagement, and invest in retention strategies that deliver long-term impact. ✔️ Evolving expectations for leadership: Business leaders are no longer just drivers of performance. They are expected to inspire, engage, and create inclusive cultures that foster collaboration, innovation and belonging. ✔️ The promise (and challenge) of AI: There’s a growing interest in AI and analytics, particularly in recruitment and workforce planning. However, adoption is progressing more cautiously than expected as organisations address readiness, skill gaps and governance. Karen Chiew, Head of Leadership Advisory, APAC, and Alistair Clark, Head of Human Resources Practice, share their perspectives on how organisations can adapt to these trends, leveraging innovation and agility to remain competitive. 🔗 How are these trends reflected in your organisation’s priorities?
