What RADICAL HR does

RADICAL HR is an Italian HR transformation and edtech company founded in 2021 and operated under Future of Work Group Srl (legal entity headquartered in Milan). It helps large Italian organizations redesign their HR function through co-design engagements, change management, and the build-out of Corporate Universities, targeting CHROs, HR Directors, and CEOs across banking, energy, public administration, retail, agri-food, and insurance. The firm positions itself as a skills-based organization in its own right, drawing on a 240+ expert network to deliver transformation projects augmented by proprietary methodology frameworks (Skills-Flow Model, People Strategy Canvas, Learning Strategy Canvas, ABCD Model Canvas, Company Culture Canvas) and original research from its Observatory on the Future of Work.

The core technology is Skillsincloud, a proprietary and fully customizable LMS that serves as the delivery layer for training content, onboarding, and Corporate University operations, paired with a Learning Analytics Tool that tracks the Continuous Learning Index and application of acquired competencies. The content asset base is material: 650+ hours of on-demand training, 11 Observatory research publications, and the People Is Not an Option video podcast (500+ listening hours within two months of launch). Supporting products include the RADICAL HR Club membership (270+ hours of on-demand training, 6 certification paths, 1 Certificate Program, monthly live sessions), downloadable canvas frameworks, and consulting services covering People Strategy, Skills-Based Organization design, HR process redesign, HR Tech Partner selection, and AI change programs.

The business model combines enterprise professional services (multi-phase transformation projects and Corporate University design, quote-based) with a self-serve annual subscription (RADICAL HR Club) and a freemium content layer (Observatory research, newsletter). Go-to-market mixes direct enterprise field sales, community-led acquisition through the Club and newsletter (14,000+ subscribers), and event-driven demand generation (LearNext 2025 connected 800+ HR professionals). Group-level revenue surpassed EUR 4 million in 2025 with a stated EUR 25 million 2030 target; the portfolio was expanded in March 2026 with the acquisition of a majority stake in GreatPixel, a communication and branding firm.
