055: HR for High-Growth Companies

HR leaders have a pivotal role to play in helping their organizations meet their people needs while scaling their business. Andrew Bartlow, Founder of Series B Consulting and co-author of Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organizations, offers a wide range of practical advice on how to run a strategic HR function successfully. In this conversation, we talk about HR planning in an ever-changing work environment, managing and balancing stakeholder needs, the risks of copying celebrated HR best practices, how to avoid wasting time and energy on HR initiatives that add little value and navigating culture change at high-growth companies.

Andrew is a former HR executive who founded the People Leader Accelerator, a development program for startup HR leaders. And he’s worked with clients like Masterclass and many others to help them overcome obstacles in a hyper growth phase.
