HR STRATEGY

Drawing on the journey at Vinted, this session will take the audience behind the scenes of redesigning a performance cycle in a fast-scaling organisation - from the initial discovery and research through to building the case for change, navigating culture, aligning a diverse group of senior stakeholders, and ultimately turning a design into something the organisation can actually adopt.

Along the way, I'll explore a broader challenge: how to establish the value of a People Growth function and connect performance management to the wider organisational system around it. Changes to performance have consequences for leadership development, talent and succession, rewards and compensation, employee relations and Works Councils - which means seemingly simple design decisions quickly become organisational ones.

Rather than presenting a finished framework, I want to take the audience through the actual journey: the choices we made, where alignment was difficult, what we learned, and the practical approaches that helped us move forward.

The aim is for people to leave with both a realistic view of what this kind of transformation takes and practical ideas they can apply in their own organisations.
