    Lucy Adams biography

    HR speaker Lucy Adams helped guide the fortunes of the world’s largest broadcaster, and now helps business leaders worldwide. A popular keynote speaker, Lucy Adams shows how leaders can weather tumultuous times by creating opportunities for meaningful change.

    In a profession not known for bold innovation, Lucy Adams stands out as a true pioneer. One of HR’s most successful and trailblazing thinkers, Adams advises a worldwide clientele on fresh perspectives for HR.

    When Adams was appointed Director of the BBC’s HR operation, she was faced with a top-heavy and often staid workforce. By strategically reducing the BBC’s management ranks by 30%, she saved the organization more than £25m per year. Over five years, Adams served four Directors General while overseeing a corporation-wide move and managing inherited scandals. In the face of those challenges, she modernized HR policy for the BBC’s more than 20,000 employees.

    Adams then founded Disruptive HR to bring her innovative spirit and deep expertise to a global audience. She leads a team that helps HR officials and C-suite executives rethink the way they attract, retain, and engage talent. Disruptive HR has consulted with HSBC, Siemens, Accenture, and many other leading corporations. Adams and her team reach thousands of members each month through her online training network, the Disruptive HR Club.

    She has distilled her wisdom in two bestselling books. HR: Disrupted and The HR Change Toolkit form a complete guide to rethinking business leadership and implementing constructive change.
