Siân Harrington is a strategic storyteller, editor and future-of-work thinker who helps HR leaders and teams shape influence in an era defined by AI, emerging technology and human-machine collaboration. Across a 30-year career as a journalist, including as editor and publishing director of a major HR publication, she has earned a reputation for cutting through noise and making complex ideas clear, accessible, and actionable.
As co-founder of The People Space, a digital media and consulting platform dedicated to building a more human-centred future of work, Siân combines sharp editorial insight with practical strategic support. Her work spans narrative shaping, thought-leadership development and visibility strategy for HR directors and organisations seeking credibility and impact. She partners with leaders to articulate their ideas, frame their expertise and communicate with clarity to both internal and external audiences.
Siân’s thinking sits at the intersection of AI, trust, work design and the evolving role of HR. Through articles, the Work’s Not Working… Let’s Fix It podcast, the People Space Digest and her Essential Guides series, she explores how organisations can adopt technology in ways that elevate, rather than erode, human potential.
At the Future Work Forum, she brings a perspective grounded in evidence, curiosity and decades of immersion in the people agenda. Her work helps leaders imagine and communicate what better work looks like – and what it takes to get there.
