Seminars
- How can HR and TA act as true business partners to support rapid, global growth?
- Explore how Corcept built strong internal (HRBP) and external partnerships to flex quickly, align talent decisions to long-term growth, and support commercial expansion
- In 4.5 years, Corcept scaled from <200 to 756+ employees globally, enabling a full commercial build in one year through collaboration and partnership-driven HR
This interactive Q&A examines what it takes for TA to operate as a genuine growth partner, whether that means flexing to support a commercial scale-up, or transforming operating practices to match a new strategic direction. Drawing on both the hypergrowth partnership model and the enterprise transformation approach explored in the Discover sessions, participants will examine the conditions and design choices that enable TA to deliver at pace without sacrificing quality.
- What partnership structures between TA and HRBPs most reliably deliver the speed and alignment needed during hypergrowth?
- How do you transform TA operating practices while continuing to deliver at the pace the business demands?
- What does TA capacity planning look like when growth is rapid and the commercial build timeline is compressed?
- How do you build TA credibility with business leaders in an organization that has historically seen TA as transactional?
