About Blue Moth Consulting
I’m Morag Lynagh, the founder and owner of Blue Month Consulting. I’m an HR Leader and Talent Strategist. I’ve honed my skills in the corporate world, most recently as the global Future of Work Lead at Unilever. I decided that it was time to spread my wings, challenge myself and use my skills to help other organisations respond to and exploit the changes that are happening in the world of work, to become stronger, more resilient, more productive.
In 2022 I was named as one of Forbes Top 50 Future of Work Thinkers. I combine creativity with a practical, down to earth and authentic approach.
In my toolkit I have skills and knowledge that make me adaptable, with an ability to get things done. As well as pioneering future of work initiatives, I can draw on my experience in change and transformation, employment law, policy, reward, organisation design, processes and comms to co-create workable solutions. Comfortable and confident working across all levels in an organisation, I’ve been recognised for my ability to ask provocative questions, build strong and effective relationship and to make the complex feel simple and accessible.

What are we really talking about when we talk about the “future of work”?
Nearly three years since the pandemic began, that phrase remains ubiquitous, signifying everything and nothing. It has become, yes, a lazy synonym for hybrid work, a catch-all stand-in for technologies like automation and AI, a branded calling card for workplace consultants trying to cash in on a disruptive moment. But it is also shorthand for the crucial conversations that must be had about creating opportunity for those who lack it, resolving persistent skills shortages, balancing flexibility with collaboration and addressing the burnout and mental health crises the last few years have wrought. Our inaugural Future of Work 50 list highlights the executives, companies, thought leaders and innovators who are helping shape these conversations…read more
The Japanese Prime Minister’s warning was stark. “We are standing on the verge of whether we can continue to function as a society,” said Fumio Kishida, addressing the opening of a new parliamentary session. He was referring to Japan’s declining birth rate – 2022 saw a record low – twinned with one of the highest life expectancies in the world. As its workforce shrinks, there are increasingly not enough people to carry out essential jobs. The same ‘demographic time bomb’ is ticking elsewhere in the world, from Europe to the USA, and from Asia to Latin America – with only sub-Saharan Africa bucking the trend. Global fertility rates have halved over the past 70 years, while populations keep living longer. … read more
