MOVE BEYOND HR PROCESSESS
Are You Ready for Design Thinking?

Thank you for investing the time to follow your curiosity and to think strategically about your HR transformation!
While you wait for your personalised report, here are three design methods you can try out today.

 

THE FIVE WHYs

Turn Data Into Action (20 minutes)
Pick one concerning metric (e.g., “engagement score dropped 12%”)
Ask “Why did this happen?”
→ Write it down
Ask “Why is THAT true?”
→ Write it down
Repeat 5 times until you reach the ROOT cause

Design your solution for THAT, not the symptom

Try it 
Schedule 20 minutes tomorrow.
Pick one metric.
Go deep.

 

THE 15 MINUTE STAY INTERVIEW

Prevent Turnover (15 minutes)
Give your managers 3 questions for their next 1:1:

“What’s the best part of your week here?”

“What’s making your work harder than it needs to be?”

“What would make you excited to stay another year?”

Bonus tip for managers
After the conversation, privately ask yourself:
“Would I rehire this person?”

If the answer is yes, make sure to tell them.
If it’s no, understand why – and whether that’s about them or the role you’ve created.

Ask them to try it this week.

 

THE DESIGNER’S MINDSET

Use Constraints as Creative Fuel
When you can’t hire more people or get bigger budgets, you can still drive transformation.

Here’s the designer’s mindset that works right now:
→ Proof of concept over perfect plans
Test one employee journey touchpoint before rolling out the full programme. Learn what actually works.

→ Pilot before you scale
Pick one team, one pain point. Solve it well. Then expand with confidence and evidence.

→ Iterate, don’t implement
Small improvements that compound beat big initiatives that fail. Speed matters more than scale initially.

→ Cross-functional from the start When you can’t hire more people, you collaborate differently. Bring tech, ops, and business in early. Shared ownership, better solutions.

Try it
Pick ONE current initiative.
What would a 2-week pilot version look like?
What’s the smallest test that could prove (or disprove) your hypothesis?
