Being pigeonholed is not something that The Transformation Partnership’s new
director Lynda Hatcher really has to worry about.

The many facets of her personal life make sure that she simply can’t be
stereotyped, as she explains: "I’m the mother of twins, enjoy swimming
regularly and I’m also a Radio 4 fanatic. I still enjoy nightclubbing and I
guess that makes me pretty hard to pigeonhole."

The new HRconsultancy works to improve people processes to ensure
organisational transformation is effective and will draw on Hatcher’s HR
experience from several companies including WHSmith Group, L’Oréal and the
British Medical Association.

Hatcher, who is an MCIPD with a degree in Economics, believes that the role
of HR is shifting and she enjoys the strategic aspect of the profession.

"HR gives you the opportunity to see across the business in a way that
few other careers can offer.I like being in a function which is probably on the
cusp of transforming itself," she says.

In her new role, she will be responsible for organisational change and the
general HR strategy alignment. "I hope to be successful in business
development and in ensuring the people aspects of change are taken fully on
board. I also hope to see more HR functions moving from being transactional,
into driving business change," she says.

She joins from Britannic Assurance where she worked on a major change and
downsizing programme and helped devise HR strategy and policy.
