INTERNAL MANAGEMENT: CULTURAL CHANGE AND AGILE FOCUS

In 2019, where internal management is concerned, one of HISPASAT’s priorities has been to guide the organisation towards a bimodal model in which one part of the organisation becomes responsible for achieving efficient processes – through classic management oriented towards predictive environments – whilst the other part has to incorporate self-managed work teams with adaptive work methodologies like Scrum, highly focused on trial and error to generate and put forward innovative solutions for business and support processes.

The HISPASAT Digital Transformation Strategy was established. This made it possible to promote different initiatives aimed at accompanying company professionals in the process of cultural change that involves an organisation including new ways of working that are able to bring new leadership – based on the Agile philosophy – adapted to the speed of digital transformation, and that have contributed to the company having self-managed teams capable of working closely and directly to ensure that new services and defined business models are rapidly evolved.

THE MAIN ASPECTS INCORPORATED IN THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY, INITIALLY OUTLINED FOR A 2019-2021 HORIZON, ARE:

That it is people focused, providing them with the skills and techniques required to face an environment that is constantly evolving and changing, allowing them to use technology productively.

That it concentrates on making the organisation respond in an agile, appropriate and automated way to the changing needs of the environment, so that it can better compete in this context.

That it is designed on the basis of a clear and open itinerary able to tackle the changes that may arise during the implementation process.

That it is collaborative and can identify opportunities beyond the radar that will allow HISPASAT to develop innovative projects and competitive advantages.

DURING 2019, HISPASAT PUT IN PLACE VARIOUS INITIATIVES FOCUSED ON:

  • Improving the digital skills of its professionals and developing their digital maturity.
  • Raising awareness among employees about points of interest within the digital transformation realm through experience days within what is known as the New HISPASAT Space. All company professionals can voluntarily attend these days.
  • Systematising project management methodologies and implementing Agile methodologies based on scrum, which will apply to all projects that are considered to be “adaptive”, i.e. that have a changing scope and objectives where it is hard to determine the requirements in advance.
  • Seeking better efficiency in existing processes and procedures by revising them, defining and putting into place RPAs and other initiatives that contribute to significantly improving them.
  • Digitalising points of contact (JIRA, ERP) and making progress towards having platforms and tools that work in cloud-based settings.
  • Analysing business opportunities from Big Data & Analytics or from other more or less disruptive uses of HISPASAT’s capabilities, and turning them into valuable use cases for the organisation.

The activities described, as well as others that have been evaluated in fields such as intra-entrepreneurship, seeking collaborative environments and positioning HISPASAT in innovation hubs that connect with the start-up ecosystem, will be pursued in the coming years, and re-evaluated periodically to ensure that they are adapted to the reality of the company and the context in which it undertakes its activities, as necessary.

NEW TOOLS FOR NEW WAYS OF WORKING

In terms of tools and applications to impact the way in which its professionals work and aimed at improving HISPASAT’s capabilities with regard to undertaking daily activities, during 2019 the Office 365 collaborative tools were rolled out. These are aimed at reinforcing the corporative cultural transformation process to adapt it to the new competitive environment that the organisation is facing.

A new tool to manage training and learning activities – the Learning Management System (LMS) – was also rolled out. This will be used to channel training, development and awareness-raising activities for HISPASAT professionals.

Concerning tools to seek the best talent, HISPASAT understands that the process of selection and hiring is a critical element to achieve success for the business and to include people in the organisational values and culture. Based on this principle, the company is looking at:

  • The efficacy of selection processes for its people, ensuring that they are professional and high quality across the whole organisation.
  • Assessing and choosing candidates according to the profiles needed using strict criteria of merit and skill, guaranteeing the transparency and professionalism of the process, with equal treatment for all candidates.
  • Presenting candidates with a competitive value offering that promotes the selection and hiring of the very best professionals.
  • Describing and valuing jobs within the organization in a coherent and objective way.
  • Committing to the specialization of profiles depending on the reality of the business.
  • Encouraging the horizontal and vertical movement of professionals to cover internal vacancies in their own or other business areas.

In this context, and in order to secure access to and attract the available talent, in 2019 HISPASAT implemented a new platform to fully automate and professionalise the early stages of the selection process for professionals, with the resulting simplification of the activities of identifying, attracting and evaluating candidates. The new platform allows for:

  • The agile and coordinated management of vacancies and open selection processes, independently of the volume of candidates who sign up for them.
  • Launching campaigns to attract people on social media and pulling in candidates to the open selection processes.
  • Objectifying and immediately eliminating the biases that may arise in the early stages of these processes, facilitating the handling of candidates based on the principles of blind CVs, which have been in place at HISPASAT for several years.
  • Incorporating filtering forms and tests into the process to assess candidates’ knowledge and skills, helping the organisation to identify the best talent.

During the 2019 financial year, HISPASAT has implemented various training initiatives, awareness-raising, etc., included as part of the annual training made available to its professionals. Over 10,960 hours of training have been carried out in total, with more than 80 courses having run.

During 2019 the Office 365 collaborative tools were rolled out. These are aimed at reinforcing the corporative cultural transformation process to adapt it to the new competitive environment that the organisation is facing.

HISPASAT understands that the process of selection and hiring is a critical element to achieve success for the business and to include people in the organisational values and culture
