Profile

Ann Holman has worked with business enterprises for over 14 years. She set the company up in 2003 and we’ve certainly come a long way and evolved rapidly. In fact, we are hardly recognisable from our early years. It’s, as always, an amazing adventure. We now concentrate on what we love doing, contributing something meaningful and making a difference to the way people view the future of work and business. We spend our time doing this kind of stuff:

1. Researching and absorbing the latest thinking in leadership, marketing, customer experience, business culture, community and social media. It’s an eclectic mix of things that really do ‘float our boat.’

2. We deliver seminars and speaking events across the UK, although offers from sunnier climes are obviously accepted! We design customised presentations but also deliver products we have created over the last few years. See the ’speaker’ section for further details.

3. Writing. Wow do we love doing this. Ann is also a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Committee where she can contribute to the latest thoughts and research. We also all tweet a hell of a lot.

4. We lecture at several Universities and Colleges.

All of our work is a vat of sincere and authentic thinking about the future of work and business, although we do talk about the here and now too. We hope to share inspired thinking, straight talk, an engaging conversation and a genuine point of view. We try to strip away the camouflage, the mask, the pretense, so representative of what old business has conditioned us to think and explore how people, technology and economics are impacting work and business.

It would be fantastic if we challenged you to think differently about your work. Whilst we do have serious, thought provoking conversations, we haven’t forgotten that we don’t get out of this life alive and that’s it’s critical to have fun and a sense of humour with a good old dose of reality too.

We see this blog/website and our thinking as a craft, it’s constantly evolving, it changes. We are always wondering what’s new, what’s interesting. Curious about people, business and technology, We hope we give away more value than we take with a little humility.

If curiosity killed the cat……so be it. We’d rather be knowledge freaks than a control freaks!
