HR Business Growth Playbooks
Practical growth lessons from HR consultancies and HR tech companies.
Hi, I'm Ben Geoghegan, host of the A Better HR Business podcast.
Over the years, I've worked with and interviewed hundreds of HR business owners from around the world.
One thing I've noticed is that they're all curious about the same question:
What's actually working for businesses like mine?
Not generic advice. Not marketing theory. But practical ideas from founders who have tested different approaches, learned from experience, and are willing to share what worked for them.

Why people find it useful

See how other HR businesses are approaching growth

Running an HR business can sometimes feel like you're figuring everything out on your own.
HR Business Growth Playbooks lets you see how other founders have approached challenges such as pricing, marketing, partnerships, enterprise sales, branding, and growth, then adapt the ideas that make sense for your own business.
These playbooks are based on presentations from the recent People Business Growth Summit and are packaged with detailed written summaries and searchable transcripts, so you can read, search, or watch depending on what suits you best.
Most people will probably start with the written summaries, then use the transcripts or recordings when they want to go deeper into a particular idea.
This isn't a course that you have to complete from start to finish. Think of it as a practical resource you can dip into when you need a fresh perspective or you're tackling a particular business challenge.

Why I put this together

More HR business owners should hear this

Through my podcast and advisory work, I've had the opportunity to speak with some incredibly smart people in the HR industry.
After many of those conversations, I found myself thinking: More HR business owners should hear this.
Rather than letting those ideas disappear into a podcast episode or presentation, I wanted to bring them together somewhere you can revisit whenever you like.
There isn't one right way to grow an HR business. My hope is that by seeing how other founders have approached similar challenges, you'll discover ideas you can adapt to your own situation.
