Transformation Is Failing. Productivity Is Flat. October Is Where That Changes

Where the Consequences of Getting It Wrong Are No Longer Theoretical

For over two decades, OPEX Week: Business Transformation Summit, has been the room where ANZ's most senior transformation leaders have their most honest conversations. In 2026, those conversations have never been more urgent. Boards are demanding in-year returns. Operating models built for stability are failing under pressure. The cost of a transformation programme that doesn't deliver is no longer just a budget problem. It is a credibility problem.
 
OPEX Week 2026 is built for the leaders accountable for outcomes. Not the ones who set the strategy and leave the room. Chief Transformation Officers, Heads of Operational Excellence, and Enterprise Transformation leaders who carry the programme when conditions change and the board loses patience.
 
Two days. The peers who are living it. No room for anything that isn't real

MEET OUR PRACTITIONERS. NOT SPOKESPEOPLE.
