Transformation isn’t just a project. It’s a continuous, often chaotic, reality for organisations across Australia and New Zealand. As digital disruption accelerates and stakeholder expectations rise, transformation leaders are under immense pressure to drive performance, embed innovation, and deliver measurable outcomes - fast.

But here’s the problem: most organisations are still solving today’s problems with yesterday’s playbooks.

The result?

• Poorly aligned strategies
• Fragmented technologies
• Legacy systems that slow progress
• Teams resistant to change
• Limited executive buy-in
• And ultimately, stalled transformations that fail to deliver ROI

Why Is Transformation So Hard in ANZ?

In our region, transformation leaders face a unique mix of challenges:

• Hyper-local complexity: From public sector mandates to private sector agility demands, local market dynamics are not one-size-fits-all.
• Talent shortages: Reskilling the workforce for AI, automation, and data isn’t happening fast enough.
• Siloed operations: Many businesses remain stuck in outdated structures that block true end-to-end transformation.
• Change fatigue: After years of ongoing transformation initiatives, many teams are disengaged and unclear on the “why.”

That’s why OPEX Week 2025—Australia’s premier business transformation summit—is more than just another conference. It’s a lifeline for leaders ready to unlock real operational excellence.
