The traditional annual HR plan is struggling.
Fixed yearly goals often miss the mark, particularly in a fast-moving business landscape.
The harsh reality is that annual plans are often outdated shortly after they’ve been created.
HR must keep pace with rapidly evolving business strategies — and that’s why quarterly prioritisation is gaining ground fast in People & Culture teams around the world.
But what does it take to make quarterly planning really work in HR?
In our July meetup, HR Leaders - Mahmoud Mousa (Director, HR Solutions & Improvements at MSA - The Safety Company) and Jodi Manning (Head of People and Culture Business Portfolio at Cambridge University Press & Assessment) - will join Riina Hellström (our founder), to let you in on what it’s really like setting up and leading HR portfolio and prioritisation practices.
You’ll learn…
- Why quarterly prioritisation is essential in modern HR strategy and governance
- What it means for HR projects and programmes when we set up a quarterly prioritisation mechanism
- How quarterly prioritisation differs between small HR teams vs large global functions
- The mindset and behavioural shifts required to make quarterly prioritisation work
- The challenges that arise from a portfolio approach to HR work
- What our guests learnt when building HR portfolio and prioritisation practices
You’ll hear real experiences and no-nonsense insights from our expert panel — leaders who are rolling up their sleeves and transforming how HR gets work done.
Whether you're in a local HR team or leading a global function, this session will give you ideas, smart recommendations, and honest lessons learnt from the field.
As always, our founder, Riina Hellström, will host the session and guide the conversation to keep it sharp, relevant, and loaded with takeaways.
Learn how to master quarterly prioritisation to deliver what matters!
