Leading HR In Hypergrowth

What does it take to shape the people agenda of an organization in hypergrowth mode? What kind of CHRO is more likely to be successful in an environment that can often be in a state of ‘controlled chaos’? For the last few years, as central banks have opened the taps of cheap money, the world has been awash with liquidity. A flood of capital is chasing good business ideas and there is a wave of hypergrowth companies rushing to become unicorns.

Hypergrowth companies can be start-ups or scale-ups but, in both cases, speed is a defining factor. For hypergrowth CEOs who have a clear business vision and easy access to capital, the biggest bottleneck is often people. This is where a strong Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) can make a significant difference in the development of the company.

Key Insights

Hypergrowth companies are challenging environments

Hypergrowth companies, often technology or e-commerce related, offer challenges that can differ starkly from established companies.

This is not your typical corporate HR role

In hypergrowth, the CHRO role transforms into a hands-on, results-driven business leader, breaking away from conventional HR norms and prioritizing simplicity in strategies.

Leadership in hypergrowth requires special attributes

Thriving as an HR leader in hypergrowth demands attributes such as being a data-driven problem solver, embracing failure as part of the journey, daring to hire those smarter and pacing oneself in the relentless environment.
