Cirque du Soleil
Search for high-level artists
Challenge
Cirque du Soleil had increasing difficulty attracting high-level artists for its shows. Given its accelerating production pace, the company had to revamp its sourcing strategy for high-level artists.
Strategy
Mobilize a project team consisting of HR, casting, and artist-training personnel to develop a new sourcing model enabling Cirque du Soleil to meet its recruitment needs.
Approach
Use creative problem-solving, adapt group technology (manufacturing) analysis, and apply change management.
Results
Restructured the recruitment needs-assessment approach by performance requirements rather than specific roles.
