Global Impact Through Local Expertise
Building a new global L&D department within a highly decentralized environment comes with both, opportunity and complexity. My key learning is clear: lasting Global impact can only be created, when local expertise and engagement are valued and when strong networks are built across the organization. For me, success in establishing a new unit within HR is not primarily about delivering structures and processes. It is about understanding the broader organizational context, shaping a future-ready culture, and enabling people and the organization to grow. Therefore all hands are needed - globally and locally! Join me on looking back on the single steps in my journey and discuss with me my main learnings.
