About

From frontline operations to transformation leadership.

I’m Josh Currie, a Customer Operations Insight Manager at Hertz and the founder of Hized. My work sits where customer operations, data and organisational change meet.

My approach
I help organisations move from fragmented reporting and opinion-led decisions to trusted evidence, clearer priorities and operating systems people actually use. The dashboard is rarely the starting point; it is the mechanism for monitoring the change.

How I work

Principles shaped by the work itself

01

Start with the operation

Meet the people doing the work, understand the customer and map the real workflow before proposing a solution.

02

Challenge the convenient answer

Data should test assumptions and expose root causes, not simply confirm what the organisation already believes.

03

Make the complex understandable

Good analysis is only useful when leaders and teams can understand it, question it and act on it with confidence.

04

Lead close to the detail

I set clear expectations, support and defend my teams, give direct feedback and stay close enough to implementation to understand what is really happening.
