Lucy Adams, CEO of Disruptive HR, talks about the challenges facing leaders and HR today:
Lucy created Disruptive HR after having held senior level HR roles in a variety of sectors, most recently at the BBC where she was the HR Director on the Executive Board during one of that organisation's most turbulent periods. In just five years the BBC had four CEOs, opened the new BBC in the North of England and the largest multi-media newsroom in Europe, became ever more digital across its news and television output, delivered significant financial reductions and managed numerous crises. Lucy was at the heart of all of these and led on many more.
Before joining the BBC Lucy was Group HR Director at Serco plc, a multi-national plc delivering large scale government contracts across the world. She has led and delivered change in complex organisations for over 15 years.
During her time at the BBC, Lucy grew frustrated with the lack of innovation in the HR profession and wanted to find new ways of tackling old problems. She now runs the agency to help HR Directors and business leaders do things differently.
Lucy is also the author of "HR Disrupted", a book packed with practical ways to innovate your approach to leading people in a disrupted world.
