About me
I passionatly believe in people.Increasingly I have seen people get sidelined as organisations have sought technological solutions to the chanellenges facing them.This is a fundemetally flawed approach which disengages people and therefore fails to deliver results.I have worked for years in team and organisational development and believe the Psychological Contract (how we and others are treated) is fundamental to feelings and motivation and therefore individual, team and organisational success.HCBU puts individauls and teams people back at the heart of work - to flourish by being human, creative bold and unique.
