“HR Agility”Seminar
FOREWORD from the Chairman
During this seminar, we will explore the HR trends and best practices
employed by high growth companies. More importantly, we will take a
microscope to the different HR strategies and behaviours of both small and
large businesses.
Nowadays, power has shifted to start-ups and there are many ways in
which corporates can learn from entrepreneurs as they are the real
innovation catalysts. They are fast and agile compared to the slow
huge turtles, can seize new opportunities, provide better customer
service and are less intimidating to potential partners…they are a real
source of distinct and competitive advantage.
How can Large Companies keep the Entrepreneurial spirit alive?
Decisions for entrepreneurs are made much more on passion,
experience, simplification, intuition and they don't have any room for
employees who don't contribute to the company in some way, shape
or form.
Compare this to a corporate decision-maker life which can sometimes
result in a mundane 9 to 5 with little room for creation, growth, innovation
and a lot of bureaucratic red tape that can lead to disengagement and the
feeling that his/ her talents and abilities are not used to the fullest.

Elon Musk (CEO of SpaceX, PayPal, Tesla Motors) says:
"Entrepreneurs make smarter choices"
Entrepreneurs recognise that markets keep changing,
technology evolves rapidly like consumer preferences, and
learning from experience can often lead to a different
choice and that makes them very agile.
Jack Ma (CEO, Alibaba Group) quotes “Don't hire the most
qualified, hire the craziest”. However, according to the
New York Times, 80% of hiring is done based on “cultural
fit”…which means we hire people we want to hang out with.
During these two days, we will ask a number of entrepreneurs
and innovative corporate thinkers to reflect on the elements
they think are most critical for HR and the Business. We'll
discover what can be learnt from them and what practical
experiments can be applied in larger organisations.
"HR leaders should assume a more vital, strategic role inside
their companies rather than merely keeping busy with everyday
stuff like: policies, payroll, and picnics“ argues Dave Ulrich,
Professor, University of Michigan and #1 HR thought Leader

Taking reality seriously - towards a more self-regulating
management model at Statoil
We try to take reality seriously, not just a dynamic and
unpredictable business environment, but also all the competent
and responsible people in the company. It sounds obvious, but
requires fundamental changes in how we Lead and Manage!
Two powerful levers: abolishing the traditional budget in favor
of a more dynamic and distributed process, and scrapping the
annual calendar for a more continuous and variable approach
to setting time-horizons for a particular business or project
Huge impact; from employee engagement to increased
agility to real performance gains

RACI is killing innovation! - How to create a Structure &
Culture with "Shared Responsibilities“?
RACI Matrix: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed
Roles need to be clear and focused, a classic tool like „RACI“ is
initially pointing for this ambition. But the four (4) slightly
different terms on responsibilities supports a significant
concentration to which exact line we may think
Like Conways Law suggests: Structure creates culture!
In bigger Enterprise organisations which are on their journey
for an agile transition, where multiple roles and multiple
processes are involved as a constraint, HR can totally screw up
by introducing a traditional RACI or may succeed and manage
by constraints with a „Agile RACI - Shared Responsibilities“.

Is spending 15% working on an idea without approval from
management a possibility to become more agile?
Would your organization hire a Steve Jobs kind of person? Why?
Should Employees who identify new business ideas be protected
and rewarded?
Do you have to be an entrepreneur in order to feel
ownership over something you started?
Should we work more with innovation consultancies or look
within the company?

Why and How we embraced Holacracy
Technology has changed. Marketing has changed. How people use
the internet has changed. The digital world is one that is not slowing
down anytime soon, and if a company's goal is to keep up with
those changes to deliver the best possible experience to their
clients, then a company must also change. Better yet, a company
must evolve.
Traditional corporate structures are a dying fashion of the old
world, they don't provide the agility needed to make changes
and to react properly. Therefore, we have adopted a new internal
structure called Holacracy (organisational governance with no
hierarchy) to help facilitate these demands.

Q&A Session with Michael
Autonomous teams, the core building block of Spotify
At Spotify we value Autonomy extremely highly; it is one
of our core guiding principles
To be truly fast and responsive, we need decisions to be
made as close to the actual work as possible.
We aim to remove communication overhead and
bureaucracy and improve quality and speed of decisions by
having people with the right context make them
Kristian will explore what Autonomy means to them, and
how we as leaders give people the freedom and help their
need to perform. Supporting autonomy goes all the way from
individual behavior to team coaching to organizational
constructs and we will provide several examples of all of this!
