HRBP Programme
Transform how you work as an HR Business Partner
The HR Business Partner role has evolved. Today’s HRBPs aren’t delivering processes – they’re consulting with leaders to solve people challenges and build leadership confidence.
They’re facilitators, coaches and change partners. They use insight, influence and agility to help managers lead better, grow their teams, and make work more human.
That’s where our programme comes in.
This four-week virtual course is for HRBPs who want to deliver real impact.
Led by Lucy Adams and Karen Moran, founders of Disruptive HR, each live session gives you fresh ideas, practical tools, and the confidence to support managers in more agile, human ways.
You’ll get real-life examples, space to reflect and share, and the chance to build the skills that set brilliant HRBPs apart – consultancy, coaching, facilitation and more.
You’ll also get 3 months’ access to the Disruptive HR Club – packed with live sessions, toolkits, and practical resources to help you put your learning into action, both during the programme and beyond.
What do you get?
4 weekly live online sessions. 90-minute sessions packed with fresh thinking, tools and discussion, led by Lucy Adams and Karen Moran. Can’t make it live? Recordings are always available.

- Join a like-minded group. Connect with other HR professionals to share ideas and challenges.
- Focused on HRBP impact. Explore the skills that matter most – from consultancy and coaching to agility and influence.
- 3 months of extra support. Access the Disruptive HR Club with toolkits, videos, guides and more.

What will you learn?
Week 1: The skills of great HR Business Partners
In this session, you’ll explore how HR is changing – and what it means for the HRBP role. We’ll look at the skills that set great business partners apart, including how to use data, influence decisions, and build stronger relationships with managers.
You’ll also learn how to shift from being the HR ‘fixer’ to becoming a trusted coach. We’ll cover core coaching and facilitation skills – helping you ask better questions, guide rather than solve, and support managers without taking over. You’ll leave with practical tools to show up as a more confident, credible and strategic partner.

Week 2: New approaches to performance management
In this session, you’ll learn why traditional performance management is no longer working – and what progressive organisations are doing instead. We’ll explore how to move beyond annual appraisals and build a culture where performance is owned by employees and supported through regular, meaningful conversations.
You’ll discover simple ways to build manager confidence – from setting clearer goals to giving feedback that feels more natural and timely. We’ll share practical tools, tips and examples to help you support a more human, agile and everyday approach to performance.
12 February 2026, 12:30 – 14:00 (UK time)
Week 3: New approaches to talent management
In this session, you’ll rethink outdated talent practices like 9-box grids, HiPo labels and long-winded succession plans – and explore fresh, inclusive ways to develop people and grow leaders. You’ll look at how careers really work today, and how to shift ownership for growth back to employees and their leaders.
You’ll get practical tools like talent calibration cards, stay conversations and internal mobility ideas – helping your organisation develop people in ways that are simple, fair and future-focused.
19 February 2026, 12:30 – 14:00 (UK time)
Week 4: You and your leaders
Understand why people managers find change hard – and how you can help.
Learn how to build influence using leadership personas, agile design, and simple marketing techniques to make your HR ideas land.
We’ll also explore better ways to support and develop managers – including clinics, nudges, and more practical, human-centred approaches..
