As strong as Jericho walls! Breaking silos in a HR
summary
A nine-person HR group redesigns itself from reactive hiring and payroll into a Global People and Organization starting July 2020, using bi-weekly syncs, one-to-ones, personal maps and a team calendar to rebuild trust. Agile practices roll in stepwise: stand-ups, retros, a common Kanban in Jira with swimlanes, user stories and a shared roadmap. A temporal cross-functional onboarding team (HR, IT, dev, branding) builds an end-to-end process that succeeds; turnover and cultural beliefs persist but substantial progress appears in 10 months.
