The Club - Disruptive HR

The Disruptive HR Club is for HR professionals who want to build the skills and confidence to stay relevant

As AI changes the work HR does, the profession needs to move beyond process, policy and administration. HR people need stronger skills in influence, critical thinking, experimentation, human-centred design, commercial impact and progressive people practices.

The Disruptive HR Club helps you build those skills through practical tools, fresh thinking, guided learning and live sessions from Lucy Adams and Karen Moran, two of the most trusted HR thought leaders in HR.

Who is it for?

The Club is for HR professionals who want to stay relevant, progressive and have impact in a changing world of work.

It is especially for people who know that traditional HR approaches are no longer enough, but who need practical support, fresh thinking and confidence to do things differently.

HR professionals

The Club helps HRBPs, people partners, heads of HR, L&D specialists, talent leads, employee experience leads or generalist HR professionals. People who want practical ideas they can use, not abstract theory.

HR leaders

For HR leaders who want their team to think more progressively and build the skills needed for the future of HR. Leaders who want an affordable, practical way to keep their team learning, inspired and aligned around modern HR.

If you’re looking for formal qualifications, academic HR theory, legal advice, compliance updates or traditional policy guidance, then we’re probably not for you.

What do I get from being a member?

The Club helps you build the skills, confidence and fresh thinking to do HR differently.

“I feel more confident, current and practical in how I approach modern HR.”

You will be better equipped to challenge outdated practices, influence leaders and make progress on the HR issues that matter most to you and your organisation.

1. Fresh insight and challenge to shift your HR mindset

To do HR differently, we have to think differently first.

You’ll feel more current, more confident and more able to challenge “the way we’ve always done things.”

The Club gives you regular insight, challenge and provocation from Lucy Adams, Karen Moran and the Disruptive HR team, helping you build the fresh mindset HR needs to stay relevant and help organisations thrive.

We’ll help you rethink the fundamentals: moving from control to trust, from one-size-fits-all to more tailored approaches, from process-led solutions to human-centred design, and from enforcing compliance to enabling better people leadership.

2. Practical tools and techniques to do HR differently

This is where fresh thinking turns into practical action.

You’ll move from “I like the idea” to “I know what I can try.”

Whether you’re changing performance management, rethinking talent, redesigning leadership development, improving the employee experience, refreshing onboarding, recognition or the HR operating model, the Club gives you practical ways to do it differently.

You’ll find tools, guides, templates, examples, short videos, webinars and on-demand learning to help you move from big ideas to tangible changes you can adapt for your organisation.

3. The skills to be a progressive HR professional

This is where fresh thinking becomes real change.

You’ll feel more confident, more credible and better equipped to operate as a modern HR professional.

Modern HR needs a different skillset.

If HR is going to stay relevant, we need to move beyond policy, process and technical expertise. Today’s HR professionals need to consult, challenge, influence, embrace AI, use insight, think commercially, work agile and design around real human needs.

Whether you’re trying to influence a senior leader, redesign an HR process, use data more effectively or experiment with a new approach, the Club will help you to develop the necessary skills.

4. Support to make change happen

Modern HR needs a different skillset.

You’ll feel less alone, more supported and more able to turn fresh thinking into lasting change.

The Club helps you work out where to start, how to get buy-in, how to test ideas safely, and how to keep momentum going when real life gets in the way.

You’ll get practical guidance on piloting new approaches, influencing leaders, handling resistance, telling a stronger change story, using evidence, and sustaining progress beyond the initial burst of enthusiasm.

You’ll also get support from Lucy, Karen, the Disruptive HR team and other progressive HR professionals who are trying to make similar changes in their own organisations.

Stay relevant in a changing world of work

“I understand what is changing and what it means for my role in HR.”

Keep up with what is changing in HR, leadership, work and AI, without having to wade through endless reports, trends and generic thought leadership. You will get trusted guidance from Lucy, Karen and the Disruptive HR team, helping you understand what matters, what is changing and what it means for your role.

Find practical support quickly

“I can quickly find something practical that helps me with the issue I’m facing.”

Find useful tools, guides, examples and ideas without starting from scratch.

Build confidence to challenge old HR practices

“I feel more confident to challenge and change the way we have always done things.”

Feel more confident questioning traditional approaches to performance management, talent, leadership, employee experience and HR operating models. You will get the language, examples and practical arguments you need to challenge outdated practices and have better conversations with leaders.

Turn fresh thinking into action

“I know how to take the idea and make it useful in my organisation.”

Translate progressive ideas into practical steps you can take in your organisation.

It is one thing to like the idea of modern HR. It is another to apply it in a real, messy, imperfect organisation. The Club helps you bridge that gap, with practical tools, guidance and examples you can adapt to your own context.

Build modern HR capability

“I am building the skills I need to stay useful and valuable as HR changes.”

Build the skills and mindset you need to be a more progressive, useful and impactful HR professional.

This includes skills such as influencing, experimentation, critical thinking, human-centred design, commercial thinking, courage and adaptability – all of which become even more important as AI takes on more transactional and administrative HR activity.

Feel supported and less alone

“I feel supported by people who understand what I’m trying to do.”

Get reassurance, encouragement and trusted guidance from people who understand what you are trying to do. You are getting confidence, validation and practical support from Lucy, Karen and the Disruptive HR team as you navigate what progressive HR should look like.
