Startup Speed, Established Company: How Strategic HR Leaders are closing the gap

June 10, 2026 at 2:00 pm ET

Your CEO wants startup speed. Your people need stability. You’re the one holding both.

You’re not a startup. You have an existing workforce, compliance requirements, and a culture worth protecting. But the pressure to move fast isn’t going away, and “we’re too big for that” isn’t an answer your business will accept for long.

The HR leaders who are navigating this tension successfully aren’t doing it by copying startup playbooks. They’re being selective, intentional, and honest about trade-offs. This panel brings together people who have done exactly that (and lived to tell about it).

You’ll leave this webinar with a clear read on which startup moves actually work at your size and stage, and which ones will create more problems than they solve.

Join us to:

• Know what to adopt and what to skip — not every startup practice survives contact with a 500-person org. We’ll cut through the noise.
• Diagnose what’s actually slowing you down — before you change anything, you need to know where your systems are the real blocker.
• Talk to your business about real trade-offs — speed and stability aren’t always enemies, but someone has to hold that conversation. Leave with a framework to do it well.
• Build decision-making structures that move faster without creating chaos — practical, peer-tested approaches you can adapt to your context.
