Scaffolding
for your
start-up
"HR tends to get the call when something big and bold is on the horizon, or when the sh*t has hit the fan. Sometimes the first causes the latter."
​
"I believe that if you consider your people strategy early, connect it viscerally to what you're trying to achieve and define and operationalise your culture so that strategy and culture become the helix 'scaffolding' to your organisational DNA, then honestly, you might not need a fan."
