Key messages

Beyond my job title as Human Resources Managers, I aim to be a Human Relation Enabler.

We used to do things to people, we often do them for people,
best thing is to do them with people!

0:39: breaking a global initiative down to local requirements and resources

1:25: transformations fail mostly because of management behavior and employee resistance: stay in touch with the people, managers have leverage, stay in dialogue

2:31: change happens through relationships, stay in dialogue, offers for engagement (e.g. digital academy)

“You don’t change culture through emails and memos; you change it through relationships… one conversation at a time.”
Danny Steele

3:42: beginners mind, try things and keep going, shift in role understanding and mindset, making progress, accepting failure

5:12 open for failure, how we deal with mistakes, opportunity for learning (see Psychological Safety)

6:05: Toolbox: Digital Academy
