The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
A media and telecommunications business was moving to a fully Agile operating model. It needed a People Partner who understood both HR and the daily work of squads, tribes and cross-functional teams, and who could help leaders make practical decisions through the change.
What made it hard
The brief needed HR experience from inside Agile teams, not alongside them. Candidates had to know Scrum, Kanban or SAFe, have coached leaders and teams through organisational change, and work in fluent Italian and English.
Who we found
An experienced HR business partner who had worked directly in Agile teams, with working knowledge of Scrum, Kanban or SAFe and a record of coaching leaders through change.
What changed
The business gained a People Partner to apply Agile principles to performance management, onboarding and learning, coach leaders and teams, and work with the HR centres of expertise to simplify processes, bringing engagement and performance data into retrospectives.
