Our Purpose
Southern Blue is redefining Human Resources (HR). Our mission is to end the traditional and transactional methods of HR and co-create modern, human-centric, Agile People Operations directly with our clients. We blend an extensive background in everything that was HR, with organisational development, leadership, tech and people development, and then mix in innovative Agile practices, to offer a truly unique and transformative approach.
What is Agile HR?
As organisations strive to become more responsive, customer-centric, digitalised and collaborative, the traditional and transactional practices of Human Resources (HR) are increasingly out-of-touch.
Agile HR transforms the fundamental principles of HR into People-Centred Operations leading Agile, digital and networked organisations.
It aims to build a shared value between the customer, business and people by:
Embracing the Agile mindset within HR and people practices
Applying Agile methodology (like Scrum and Kanban) to self-organise, experiment and co-create directly with your people
Proactively redesigning HR to build awesome, user friendly and human-centric workplace practices
Coaching leaders and teams through Agile organisational transformation
Being an Agile HR business partner and consulting on the digitalisation and increased automation of the workplace
Enriching the people experience at work and taking care of the human

#AgileHR pioneer #Futureofwork strategist
My passion is helping leaders, organisations and brands build awesome places to work, where talented people want to be.
I’ve worked with organisations both great and small to embrace the Agile mindset, redefine their culture and co-create healthy, happy and financially successful working environments.
I combine my extensive background in human resources and organisational development, with Agile methodology and practices, to offer a genuinely new and innovative approach to designing great employee experiences.
In 2016 I founded the #AgileHR Meetup community and host regular events in the UK and Europe, and now even Australia! As one of the first to deliver Agile HR training and coaching, I recently co-founded the Agile HR Community with the aim of establishing a global learning network and community of practice in Agile HR and set the new standard in HR professional skills and certified training.
The more I witness the energy Agile HR ignites, the more convinced I become of its restorative power, not just for the HR profession but for the future of work.

The London Agile HR Meetup is back for 2018 and we are with old friends, Saberr, the fantastic people analytics company, who are not only great enablers of Agile team development but an active supporter of the Agile HR collective from the beginning. Our theme for the evening is helping self-organising teams solve their own problems. Leading on from previous Agile HR Meetup discussions, our focus returns to how we can support the development and continuous improvement of autonomous and self-organising teams. Special guests include Alistair Shepherd, Founder of Saberr, and Bee Heller, Partner at The Pioneers. Join is for a great night celebrating Agile team development.
