Kate Rand is People Operations Director at Beyond, a full-service digital agency. She's also Agile HR Community's Lead trainer.
Agile HR Community caught up with Kate after the latest Agile HR Certified Practitioner program in London, hence the slightly bizarre background - at least the clock shows we managed to do the interview in realtime :-).
Kate kindly shared Beyond's story of how they discovered Agile HR, the journey they embarked to find their particular flavour of Agile HR and what they have achieved since.
