Simon Drinkwater - Founder, The HR Partnership - Your People and AI Conscience
Simon Drinkwater is the founder of The HR Partnership and a strategic advisor to scaling SMEs, boards, and HR leaders. With more than 28 years of HR and leadership experience across seven industries, he specialises in aligning people, culture, and strategy with the opportunities of AI.
He is the creator of the FutureFit AI Readiness Review, a practical framework designed to help organisations navigate AI adoption through four critical lenses: strategic (aligning AI with business goals), operational (integrating AI into systems and processes), personal (building leader and team confidence with AI), and change leadership (guiding culture and transformation).
Simon’s work ensures that AI is implemented with a strong human focus — balancing innovation with ethics, culture, and leadership. Known as “your People and AI Conscience,” he helps organisations cut through complexity, build confidence, and deliver future-fit solutions that drive sustainable growth.
