Lego’s Blueprint for Modern HR: People, Places and Culture https://lnkd.in/excg3-KY “(Our new HR operating model is) a three-pronged framework: product management, communities of excellence, and flexible business partnering. We're moving from centres of excellence to communities of excellence, where everything we create is co-designed with our colleagues.” What does the modern HR operating model look like? the LEGO Group’s blueprint combines People, Places and Culture and is designed around a three-pronged framework encompassing product management, communities of excellence and flexible business partnering. To explore how this innovative framework is setting new standards, I am joined for this week’s episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, by Loren I. Shuster, Chief People Officer at the LEGO Group. “HR leaders should focus on creating the right context for people in the organisation to thrive so that they can deliver the best results for the company.” In our conversation, Loren and I discuss: 1️⃣ How integrating ‘People, Places and Culture’ aligns with Lego’s broader business objectives. 2️⃣ How this model influences Lego’s approach to talent management, workplace design, and cultural development. 3️⃣ How Lego utilises technology and analytics to support its innovative people practices and maintain its commitment to continuous innovation. 4️⃣ How these practices enable a flexible and adaptive organisational culture. 5️⃣ Guidance for other organisations looking to innovate their HR practices in similar transformative ways. "There’s no doubt AI is one of the most significant technological developments of our lifetime. We tend to overestimate the short-term impact of technology and underestimate the long-term impact." Thanks to Loren for sharing his time and expertise with listeners as well as Philip Arkcoll, Laura Morris and the team at Worklytics for sponsoring this series of the podcast. Thanks too to Manpreet Randhawa, Stefan Kesić, Jasmine Panayides, and the team at Insight222 and myHRfuture for bringing the podcast to life. cc: Maja, Thomas, Javanthy, Paul, Thomas, Jeppe, Matias, Dave #humanresources #leadership #culture #peopleanalytics #futureofwork #employeeexperience #chro #workforceplanning #hrtech #diversity #talentmarketplace #orgdesign #hrpodcast
Thank you David Green 🇺🇦
Absolutely love what Lego is doing with their HR! 🙌 Moving from centres to communities of excellence? Brilliant. It's all about giving people a voice in shaping where they work. Imagine how empowered employees feel, knowing they're actually listened to and can contribute to big decisions. Plus, using tech and analytics smartly means they're always a step ahead. Big props to Loren and team!
Interesting to hear about the communities of excellence at Lego. Some clear examples of evidence-based best practices in this design. I’m curious if any pain points have been experienced by the business or HRBPs related to the implementation of communities over traditional CoE
