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

I know what it feels like to have more on your plate than hours in the day. I’ve been exactly where you are – at the coal face of change, influencing senior stakeholders and driving real results.

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…

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.

“we’re so busy keeping the lights on, we’ve no space left to think.”

Building Business Connections in Milton Keynes

The Meet of MK – End of Summer Party 2025 at Hotel La Tour Milton Keynes brought together an inspiring mix of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community champions from across Buckinghamshire. The evening highlighted the strength of our local business network, with engaging conversations, new partnerships, and the privilege of connecting with Mayor James Lancaster.

Why More Business Leaders Are Turning to Fractional HR Directors?

In a world of constant change, your people strategy can’t afford to lag behind. That’s why more CEOs and COOs are turning to Fractional HR Directors, experienced leaders who bring strategic clarity, drive transformation, and support growth without the full-time commitment.

Every Empty Chair Speaks for the Customer.

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.
