Lynda developed and co-directed, with Dr. Sumantra Ghoshal, the Global Consortium Program at the London School of Business. The program involved senior executives from such leading multi-national organizations as: ABB, BT, Lufthansa, SKF, Standard Chartered Bank and LG . It was designed to increase participants' skill in managing complex global businesses by visiting China, India, Brazil and Europe to study global companies.

Lynda’s dynamic research portfolio includes her work leading The Leading Edge Research Initiative which focuses on identifying and articulating how business strategy is developed through people. Since 1993 a series of in-depth studies of 8 large companies produced an increased understanding of this complex issue. The results of this research were published in a number of research articles and summarized in Strategic Human Resource Strategy: Corporate Rhetoric and Individual Reality, published by Oxford University Press.

Lynda's main field of interest is human resource strategy where she is acknowledged as one of the world's leading authorities. She consults actively to a number of multi-national companies including Andersen Consulting, Nortel, Philips, BP, Hewlett Packard, United Technologies and Unilever. Her focus is on helping senior executives consider the people implications of business strategy. Her most recent book, Living Strategy: Putting People at the Heart of Corporate Purpose, is published by Financial Times Prentice Hall. Lynda serves on the Board of the American Human Resource Planning Society and is a keynote speaker at many of their conferences.

Before joining London Business School in 1989, Lynda was Director of Human Resource Strategy at PA Consulting where she had responsibility for the world-wide HRS practice development. She is a trained psychologist with a doctorate in individual psychology and worked for some years with British Airways as an occupational psychologist.
