The Career Innovation Company

While debates about how we organise and structure work play out – tasks, skills, jobs, automation – the fundamental remains: businesses need people to get stuff done, rapidly adapt, learn new things and affiliate with the people around them.   This achievement, growth, and sense of belonging is the story people will tell about their working lives – their career. The extent to which these ‘careers’ are rewarding, personally meaningful experiences and aligned with strategy will inform the organisational outcomes.    When facing the challenge and expense of changing how work is organised it is easy to overlook how individuals doing the work will experience a career unfolding.   Answering yes to three questions will help navigate the flux while skills or task based approaches and/or new HR tech stacks get implemented, and then, accelerate the ROI:   ❓ Do people have agency to manage their own career – specific skills and motivation to be proactive in seeking opportunity? ❓ Can managers have the conversations that support people to find their path in your context - no matter what the current ambiguities? ❓ Does everyone (exco, HR COEs, HR BPs, line managers...new hires) understand the intentional principles that shape how careers unfold at your organisation – a career philosophy? This is where we at The Career Innovation Company play – running workshops for HR, managers and employees to leverage personal career experiences for organisational outcomes.   #reskilling #internalmobility #retention

How do we bring our people along during major business change? I worked in the career transition world during the 90s, as some of you might remember! It was an acute period of rapid change and disruption, with widespread restructuring and job losses. We used to talk about the ‘survivor syndrome’. Transformation today is even more disruptive—and unsettling. The world seems more complex. Its creating uncertainty, dips in productivity and career unease. But it doesn’t have to, and that's where the lessons of the past are still relevant. When people understand why change is happening—and more importantly, how they can grow their careers alongside it—they’re more likely to stay engaged, motivated, and invested in the future.  When job losses are unavoidable, treating both those leaving and staying with support and dignity also makes a big difference. That’s why equipping employees and managers with the right tools for career conversations is so critical. When people feel supported, they see opportunities, and feel empowered—not left behind. In the clip below my The Career Innovation Company colleague Jonathan Matthews explains that when businesses make a clear connection between future career development and transformation, they influence employee’s perceptions of belonging, opportunity and autonomy. We can work with you on your career strategy in bespoke workshops, and support employees and managers with career skills at scale.

As part of International Women’s Week, we had the privilege of hosting a powerful session on Working Out Loud—an approach that fosters connection 🤝, learning 📚, and career development 🚀. In partnership with The Career Innovation Company, we explored how intentional sharing, networking, and visibility can drive career growth and create opportunities for individuals and teams alike. A huge thank you to Valerie Rowles for leading such an insightful discussion, helping us all recognize the value of making our work visible and engaging in purposeful career conversations. It was inspiring to see so many colleagues actively participating—sharing their reflections, supporting one another, and leaving the session feeling hopeful, motivated, and inspired 💡💬. This session wasn’t just about theory—it was about action 🎯. One of the key takeaways? Career growth is in our hands, and BSI is committed to providing the right tools and opportunities to support it.
