David Puttnam
Director of Henley Centre for HR Excellence & HR/Performance Strategist
Nick Holley is currently Professor and Director of Henley Business School’s Centre for HR excellence. He also runs his own HR performance consultancy and provides one to one coaching for a number of senior leaders. Nick has a unique background that combines experience as an army officer, ten years as a successful futures and foreign exchange broker with Merrill Lynch and sixteen years in senior organisational, leadership and people development roles in large global organisations. In his last two roles, Nick was partner in charge of learning for Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa for Arthur Andersen and director of global people development for Vodafone. His work on leadership development at Vodafone was externally benchmarked amongst the top five in Europe. This extensive commercial experience and customer focus provides a strong link between organisational change and bottom line performance improvement.
Voted the 5th most influential thinker in HR by Human Resource Magazine
Nick has recently carried out research on employee engagement, HR and Big Data, HR careers, HR in the recession and recovery, HR leadership, HR organisational models, leadership development, performance management, talent management and what CEOs want from HR. Nick has worked with a number of major global businesses and governments in North and South America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe on a number of projects looking at change management, HR strategy and capability, leadership development, strategy implementation and people, performance and talent management.[/expand]
Nick has been involved in creating and managing large scale organisational change, leadership and people development programmes and performance and talent management processes and systems but his real expertise lies in embedding them in day to day operations. Most organisations have great strategies but fail to deliver them. Nick understands the theory but combines this with a proven ability to deliver and sustain them in highly complex organisations.[/expand]
Nick has the ability to turn solid ‘academic’ insights into practical and workable solutions and in his engaging, humorous and pragmatic presentations, he always energises and enriches his audience.
