HR leading by example during Zegna transformation Available to Purchase

When Ermenegildo Zegna's senior management team decided to transform the organization into a performance‐oriented culture, the decision was made to start with the HR function. The purpose of this paper is to outline the challenges they met and how they were overcome.

The paper uses Ermenegildo Zegna as a case study of how to transform an organization into a performance‐oriented culture.

The move from transactional to strategic HR is not a one‐off, closed‐ended process. HR must keep ahead of the changes and needs to always be thinking of new ideas and new attitudes and to keep pushing forward.

The paper examines Ermenegildo Zegna's process of transformation.
