“We had a lot of internal talent, but we needed to see it clearly to manage it strategically. Booster he was the facilitator who allowed us to move from theory to action with an intuitive tool that truly helps managers to have impactful conversations”.
Paula Guerrero | Head of Talent and Culture at LALIGA
LALIGA was in “reactive mode”. Their talent strategy was limited to putting out fires, providing support to managers only when critical needs arose. In practice, this resulted in three major blockages:
- Lack of visibility: HR didn't have a clear picture of actual performance to respond quickly to business demands.
- Disconnection with the employee: The teams required defined growth plans and clarity about their careers, something that static processes could not provide.
- Low adoption: Traditional evaluation models were perceived as an administrative burden by managers, losing all their operational utility.
LALIGA decided to break with the processes of the 20th century and implement a system of progressive development connected to everyday life. It wasn't about adding more forms, but about activating a action system.
The key was not only the design of the model, but the use of Booster Like the Copilot that guides every leader. The system was configured to map key roles, responsibilities and behaviors by area, integrating development directly into the teams' routine. We went from a “theory of human resources” to close support with guided 1:1 s and practical tools that live where the work happens.
The impact of moving from reactive to proactive management has transformed the leadership culture at LALIGA:
- 24/7 visibility: What used to be an annual static evaluation is now a “photo that moves” in real time, allowing decisions based on data and not on intuition.
- Adopting leadership: Managers have stopped seeing feedback as an obligation to assume it as their main lever of impact on results.
- Strategic HR: The team of people has gone from “pursuing processes” to participating in business conversations, identifying critical points and anticipating the needs of each area.
- Personalized Development: Thanks to the flexibility of Booster, each department has specific action plans that reflect its operational reality and levels of responsibility.
Today, at LALIGA, people management is no longer an administrative process; it is a competitive advantage directly connected to the business strategy
