I spend a tragic amount of time browsing through videos on YouTube. I am on a constant quest to cut down the hours (yes, hours) I spend with my eyes glues to the screen with absolute zero takeaways. Which is why, I love videos that actually deliver real value to the viewer. Even better if … Continue reading #Influence Greatness
What does an HR Business Partner (HRBP) do?
That is a question we would all like the answer to, wouldn’t we? I tip my hat to the person who coined this term. While Dave Ulrich popularized ‘HR Business Partners’ in the 1990s, I am not entirely sure where it first originated. Whoever did come up with the term, without doubt, takes the Oscar … Continue reading What does an HR Business Partner (HRBP) do?

What then should we do with these buds of an idea? Like premature babies, they deserve to go into an incubator.
31 day challenge: Turn up with more than ‘one’

Even if you haven’t heard of Tom, you’ve definitely heard of the organization he works with – Ideo.
