Most HR teams I've seen are still built like internal service desks: reactive, process-driven, and often detached from how people experience work. But here’s the truth: HR isn’t just about delivering services. It’s about creating products and designing experiences... products that shape how people join, grow, stay, and thrive. When I started reframing HR through the lens of Experience the Product…...

AI is the buzzword of the year. But here’s the hard truth: Most HR functions aren’t ready for it, not because they lack tools, but because they lack clarity. Last week, I had the honour of speaking about Digital Transformation, AI Work Integration, and the Future of Work to a group of current and incoming CHROs as part of the…...

𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗥: 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗲? 🤖❤️

Is AI the Grim Reaper for HR jobs? 🤔 For every bot that enhances, does a human need to exit?

Not so fast! The latest report from Josh Bersin suggests AI could save HR careers, not end them. Intriguing, right? 📊✨

In this chaotic world, AI offers a safety net. It’s like bringing a Swiss Army knife to a sword fight. Automation frees HR leaders from the mundane, giving you the freedom to innovate and connect on a human level. As someone who's deployed several complex HR systems across the globe, I've seen firsthand: tech doesn't replace talent, it enhances it. 🌟

Don’t fear the robots; make them your allies. The real danger? Sticking to legacy processes that chain you to the past. ⛓️ Remember, the Wright brothers didn’t just build a faster horse. They redefined transport.

So, what's your take? Are your systems keeping you grounded or readying you for takeoff? 🚀

Drop your thoughts below. 👇 Let's embrace, not erase, the future of work.

🌀 CHAOS COORDINATOR 🌀
Apparently, my hidden talents aren’t so hidden anymore.

My leadership team surprised me with this mug — and honestly, I’ve never felt more seen.
Solving problems no one knew existed? ✅
Making the impossible look like a Tuesday? ✅
Doing it all before the second coffee kicks in? We’re working on that.

Whether it’s a crisis, a spreadsheet, or an HR transformation that needs taming, I’m your person.
Because sometimes the most valuable skills are the ones you don’t find in a job description.

Thanks to my team for this perfect gift, and for embracing the controlled chaos that comes with change, growth, and a bit of (organised) magic.

It’s been almost 5 years since I’ve left the CIPD but some of the relationships we built then have turned from colleagues to friends or the family you choose ❤️

Great catching up with the gang over nice food and drinks, stories and giggles 🤭

Stop managing change. Start designing change experiences. A comms pack isn’t a change strategy—it’s a checklist.

You don’t need more data—you need better questions. Ask: what are we trying to solve for? Data without purpose is noise.

People don’t resist change—they resist *bad change*. HR transformations fail when we focus on tools, not outcomes. Design with people, not just systems.

🧵 Mini-thread: Lessons from a global HR transformation:
1️⃣ Data quality trumps system features.
2️⃣ Business buy-in beats tech specs.
3️⃣ Start with EX, not process maps.

📈 Org design tip: Don’t optimise for alignment—optimise for flow. If info, people or decisions get stuck, performance suffers.
