Recruiting for Agility that delivers business results
Prague, Czech Republic – The Pedersen & Partners Prague team welcomed HR directors and talent management experts from leading Czech businesses to a Recruiting for Agility event. Participants included executives from the financial services and payment solutions industries, who gathered to discuss and highlight the strategies and tactics aimed at recruiting agile leaders who drive corporate performance. The event was hosted by Lean-Agile Enterprise Management & Critical Initiatives Execution (R&D) expert Vanya Atanasova, of Broadcom Inc. Vanya has a diverse Lean-Agile management experience which spans across seven major industries and extends through portfolio, program and team level. For the Recruiting for Agility event, she delivered a highly informative interactive presentation on her experience in recruiting for agility in a way that delivers business results.
At the event, participants identified the steps required to assess whether an organisation is agile-ready, and the types of agility on the market. Skills, roles, responsibilities, and KPIs at different levels were reviewed from the perspective of potential hiring, together with approaches to spotting and busting organisational silos. Another major topic was the identification of red flags during the interview phase, and the development of the “new generation” of leaders. The discussion was supplemented with real life examples and case studies.
This event was a part of an HR Leadership series, which will be held on a regular basis.
