About

Why The Hive

The Hive is about the hive mind. The hive achieves together what no individual could. That's the idea the business is built on: the ability of people to think, decide and act together, especially with colleagues they don't yet know, is the greatest asset any organisation has.

We call it collective intelligence, and everything we do is designed to build it.

Founder

Andrew Tilling

Andrew founded The Hive and created the STORM Process®. He has spent more than twenty years helping leadership teams and the people around them work together through change, from sales organisations in the middle of a merger to senior leaders in healthcare and teams at the United Nations. He has trained more than 10,000 leaders at Oracle.

Before consulting, Andrew spent seven years as a professional actor, and he was directing youth theatre from the age of fourteen. Theatre taught him how a group of people with limited time and resources can produce something excellent together, and STORM grew out of the contrast between that and what he saw in organisations.

He is writing a book, Leading Through the STORM, and speaks at conferences on leading teams through change.
