We've got a great business vision, why is it so hard to deliver? Transformations are easy to envision but very hard to deliver: Success needs: ·      A high performing leadership team ·      Ruthless prioritisation ·      Clear objectives to create focus ·      High performing, well trained functional teams to deliver at pace ·      On-going communications and clarity of journey ·      The ability to Get Stuff Done and to Stop Doing Stuff. If any one of these is missing the transformation will fail.   How do your transformation plans measure up to this check list? #wisdom #transformationalleadership #riskmanagement #GettingStuffDone #AI If you are interested in this Post or want hear more about the amazing work we do with our clients please follow us on LinkedIn @defyexpectations.co.uk

Accountability is the lifeblood of execution. But in the C-suite, it's often the elephant in the room. Are your teams truly aligned on delivering transformative change? Or are they trapped in silos, playing the blame game while critical initiatives fall behind?

In 2024 the UK still does not have a well defined Industrial Strategy! But a new report out from @PwC_UK - which surveyed over 1200 of the UK's senior business decision-makers and interviewed more than 60 business leaders - is set to address that. Find out what it says here and get in touch if you'd like to know more. #IndustrialStrategy

Creating opportunities for your followers to grow and develop is the key for success, a servant style leadership. Leaders need to be mindful of the capabilities and capacity of their people and with this provide them with opportunities to step up. A leader’s role and responsibility is to develop people within their organizations, this provides vibrancy and energy within.

I find it strange to read that leaders think there is a start and finish date in transformation. Change is constant this has to be built into the culture of an organisation. There are projects to improve process or outcomes, these need full focus of leadership.

My take on this MIT piece. Given the rapid convergence of a broad range of disruptive trends impacting most industries, more and more organisations may face "trauma." Whether they can turn this into post-traumatic growth is the key leadership challenge of the next decade.

I am excited that I have recently joined the London Business School on Leading the Digital Transformation programme. Yesterday's kick-off meeting with Helen Ritchie & Danielle Macedo was truly inspiring! "The programme is designed to equip senior executives with the mindset essential to tackle the challenges brought on by digital transformations in today's fast-paced business environment. It emphasizes the critical need to adapt to new strategies to excel in the digital era. In a world where the business landscape is evolving rapidly, it is imperative to recognize that traditional methods may no longer be sufficient. The key question remains: Is your business prepared to embrace the next phase of digital transformation?"
