Viktor Grgic and Bastiaan van Hamersveld talk about how you reward people in a way that truly supports learning, collaboration, and long-term product outcomes—without falling into the trap of measuring individual performance in complex work?
In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how to decouple performance appraisals from personal growth, why traditional bonus systems create the wrong incentives, and how teams and HR can co-create healthier, more aligned reward systems that fit within LeSS.
Viewers will learn:
Why individual performance is nearly impossible to measure meaningfully in product development
How capability-based, subjective assessments can be more fair—and more effective
How teams have hacked traditional systems to shift the focus from individual goals to shared outcomes
What HR needs to understand to support this change, and how to prepare them for it
How to introduce this transformation step-by-step, without triggering resistance or confusion
Why it matters for LeSS practitioners:
LeSS emphasizes whole-product thinking, shared responsibility, and systemic improvement. This session offers both the mindset and practical examples to help align your people systems with those principles—so your structure doesn’t unintentionally undermine your strategy.
Perfect for leaders, HR professionals, and coaches working in or transitioning toward a LeSS organization.
