Writer, speaker and consultant - helping companies develop human and social capital for competitive advantage
Reading, United Kingdom
I am a consultant, researcher, writer and speaker focusing on strategic human capital management, HR 2.0 and management 2.0.
I help organisations gain competitive advantage through the creation of human and social capital supported by effective leadership, HR and management practices, OD interventions, and the use of web 2.0 / social media tools etc.
I have worked for 20 years in Engineering, IT, change management and HR (including as an HR Director).
I am based in the UK but I have a global focus to my role and I spend a lot of time in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
I work with business leaders, HR departments and others to raise the level of their ambition to have more impact in their businesses. This often involves developing innovative, value creating people, team and organisation management / development strategies. I also design and implement strategic people management programmes, for example in talent management and organisation development.
And I help increase value in individual HR processes and technologies eg performance management, the use of social media etc.
I also help business leaders and HR teams develop their own strategic capabilities.
A strategic perspective across breadth of HR.
