Unlike general HR guides or basic startup leadership books, HR 2.0 for Startups combines deep startup expertise with advanced people strategy frameworks. Packed with actionable insights, proven frameworks and models, it addresses the credibility gap that keeps HR professionals out of critical business decisions by teaching commercial thinking, strategic alignment, and executive presence specifically within startup dynamics.
Through mastering the art of business-aligned people strategy, the book helps decode organisational culture, tackle talent retention challenges, and harness a team's full potential through proven frameworks and real-world applications. It explores how thinking strategically shapes how to create long-term plans in alignment with the business, and how culture is an ecosystem that needs to be designed and nurtured. The book provides step-by-step guidance on how to develop strategic skill, commercial insight and executive level behaviour to drive real impact.
Whether you're stepping into your first senior HR role or looking to elevate your strategic impact in start-ups, you'll gain the tools to drive meaningful business results while championing exceptional employee experiences.
Nicola Forbes-Taylor is a player-coach for human dynamics, impacting leadership, culture and performance throughout a 20-year HR/People career, including 10+ years as CPO in the London/global startup ecosystem.
