Think Like Amazon: Insist on the Highest Standards

High standards are contagious – but only when leaders set them. At Amazon, “good enough” simply isn’t part of the vocabulary. Leaders are expected to raise the bar every single day, ensuring that quality is measured as rigorously as speed.
Think Like Amazon: Hire and Develop the Best

At Amazon, hiring and developing the best isn’t just about filling roles, it’s about raising the bar for the entire organisation. Every hire or promotion is reviewed by a panel from across the business to ensure fresh, independent judgment and continuous improvement.

Think Like Amazon: Think Big

Think beyond today. At Amazon, big thinking isn’t about small gains – it’s about imagining what doesn’t exist yet. Leaders are expected to “see around corners,” anticipating markets, customer needs, and risks before they emerge. Every decision is made with scale and longevity in mind: Will this still hold true in five or ten years? Will it stand up to disruption? Bold ideas build the future – not just the next quarter.

Think Like Amazon: Dive Deep

At Amazon, “Dive Deep” means leaders never outsource understanding. They know their business at every level – questioning data, tracing root causes, and staying close to the detail. No one is too senior to visit a fulfilment centre or read a customer ticket. It’s a mindset of curiosity and accountability, where asking “Why?” isn’t a challenge, it’s culture.

From Overwhelm to Successful Delivery

When your HR team is running on empty…

When your HR team is running on empty, it can feel overwhelming. The growing to-do list, the pressure to drive productivity, and the need to retain top talent can weigh heavily on your shoulders. But you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

When the pace of change outstrips your team’s capacity…

You know that moment when the business is charging ahead with new priorities, but your HR team is stretched thin, trying to keep up with transformation, engagement, and retention – all at once?

It’s not that HR teams can’t do it…

It’s not that HR teams can’t do it. It’s that they’re already doing everything else.

Every conversation I’ve had lately with HR leaders has a familiar thread –
“we’re so busy keeping the lights on, we’ve no space left to think.”

Building Business Connections in Milton Keynes

The evening highlighted the strength of our local business network, with engaging conversations, new partnerships, and the privilege of connecting with Mayor James Lancaster.

What Makes Amazon So Relentlessly Successful?

Here’s something you won’t see on a balance sheet, but it drives EVERYTHING behind the results.
At every senior leadership meeting at Amazon – from leadership discussions to strategy sessions – there is always one extra chair. It’s not symbolic…

Why would we need a consultant? We’ve already got HR.

“Why would we need a consultant? We’ve already got HR.”
It’s a question I hear often – and honestly, it’s a fair one.
