Do you feel like your company is starting to outgrow you?

You are scaling, but things are starting to break on the inside:

  • Everything revolves around you. You are involved at every decision and can’t switch off, even on vacation. You are unintentionally becoming a bottleneck for your own team and increasing the risk of errors.

  • Lost agility and speed. What used to take days now takes weeks. Instead of innovation and business growth, you are dealing with communication noise and inefficiencies that cost you money.

  • Missing ownership and accountability. You have people, but you lack leaders and your team merely waits for tasks. When “everyone” is responsible for a result, no one is.

 

What got you here (intuition and passion) won't get you to the next level. You need to trade improvisation for a functional system. This is what will free up your hands.

My approach: Company as a product

I treat your organization with the same rigour as you treat your product. I don’t rely on assumptions or blindly copy corporate "best practices." Every company has a unique context – what works for Netflix won’t necessarily work for a local firm.

I help you consciously design your company's operating system – from structure and roles to rhythms and culture. I apply product development principles: understand the problem, design a solution, test, and deploy. The goal isn't bureaucracy, but a functional infrastructure that supports your business goals.

Addressing the right issue?

Addressing it in the right way?

PROBLEM

1. Understand: research, data, analysis

2. Define: our problem, end result

SCOPE

3. Ideation: solutions, concepts

4. Testing: prototyping, feedback loop

SOLUTION

"It doesn't work but we don't know why."

"We know what to solve and why."

"We have a solution and go live."

I use my approach in three formats of cooperation, depending on what stage you are currently at.

Service options

HR Audit & Roadmap 

Where to start when lost.

You are hitting limits. Unsure whether you are being held back by people, processes, or culture.

What we do: 

Deep analysis of the company's state (processes, data, risks). No guesswork, just facts.

Result: 

A clear roadmap of priorities. You will know exactly what to change and when, so the business can keep growing.

HR Projects 

From chaos to a functional system.

You have a specific pain point that is costing you money (process, 
roles, leadership, performance).

What we do: 

Design of custom solutions. I set up processes that provide direction without creating bureaucracy.

Result: 

A functional operating system.  Processes run smoothly, people own their responsibilities, and owners are freed from operations.

HR Partner & Co-pilot

Long-term strategic oversight.

You are looking for
a decision-making partner, or
supervision for an internal HR team.

What we do: 

I oversee strategy, challenge your ideas, and mentor internal HR so it grows with the company.

Result: 

Certainty that People & Culture actively supports business goals and isn't just addressed "when things are on fire."

Are you an HR professional looking for personal mentoring? Let me know.

Testimonials

"Highly empathetic approach and drive to push things forward and follow through."

 

I had the pleasure of working with Bohunka on a project to create and implement a system of employee growth and support in a relatively heterogeneous organisation, where each part of the organisation was prepared differently for the project. Bohunka led the whole initiative as an external consultant and was instrumental in bringing it to a successful conclusion. During our work together, I appreciated not only her professional erudition, but especially her highly empathetic approach, which does not lack the drive to push things forward and to see them through to the end - a combination that is rarely seen.

About me

Bohunka Hihlánová

HR professional with more than 20 years of experience. Helping companies succeed through engaged people, collaborative teams and a healthy company culture. I believe that good work is one of the prerequisites for a good life. So my heart is in values-based organisations that promote autonomy, self-management and empathetic leadership.

​​

On LinkedIn and my blog, I create content about HR in small and medium-sized companies. The common thread running through it all is the intention to make HR clearly connected to business – strategically, simply, sustainably – while maintaining common sense.

 

I am the author of the book Lidi nejsou zdroje (Grada Publishing, available as of March 2026), and I also work as a lecturer and mentor (e.g., at SUHR academies).
