Jon Ingham graduated from Imperial College, London in 1987 and joined Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) as a systems development consultant. After ten years in IT, change and then HR consulting, John joined Ernst & Young as an HR Director, working firstly in the UK, and then, based in Moscow, covering the former USSR.
Jon now consults independently through Strategic Dynamics. In this role, he focuses on helping business that already have sound approaches to people management gain further improvements in the capabilities and engagement of their people, and the effectiveness of their organisations.
Jon is also a popular writer, speaker and course tutor and has also delivered courses in strategic management, change management and human resources to business school MBA students in the UK, Russia and Croatia.
Jon has also written a book titled ‘Strategic HCM: Creating Value through People’ that was published by Butterworth Heinemann in 2006. Featuring case studies from RBS, BT, Orange, Ernst & Young, BBC, the Cabinet Office and other leading organisations, ‘Strategic HCM: Creating Value through People’ demonstrates that HCM is much more than just a new name for HR. It is also much more than just a ‘decision science’ focused on measurement and benchmarking. HCM is an evolving approach to creating value in an organisation based upon the capability of its people. HCM strategies are tightly aligned with a business’ needs. HCM strategies tend to be unique and innovative, going far beyond HR best practice. HCM programmes rely on excellent delivery and an appropriate approach to measurement. The resulting development of human capital helps transform the way that business is done and that service is provided. This delivers significant bottom-line benefits for a business.
Jon has a BA in Psychology, a Masters in Engineering and an MBA. He is a Certified Management Consultant, a member of the BPS and occupational psychology division, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and a Fellow of the RSA.
