AI ambition is outpacing organisational readiness, and enterprises have not yet cracked the code to scalability. Transformation leaders are being pulled into a new position of responsibility – guiding Transformation and AI ownership and communicating alignment between the board and the people of the business.

From the 3rd - 5th November 2026, the Business Transformation Europe Summit is here to challenge the core thinking of transformational leadership and provide exactly what you need to deliver AI-enabled innovation at scale:

- How do we uphold the rigor of the transformation execution?

- How do we ensure governance creates alignment rather than friction?

- How do we maintain control and accountability while enabling a bottom-up approach to innovation?

- And ultimately, how do we build a scalable approach to transformation that is understood and supported from the board to the frontline employees?

We hope to see you there!

Ahead of Business Transformation Europe Summit 2026, we kicked off our brand new 'Transformation Talks' Podcast Series with insights from Milan Lakhani, Director of Digital and Sustainable Business Transformation at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe about the crucial role that Environmental, Social & Governance initiatives play in Business Transformation.

Transformation doesn't fail quietly. It fails in missed targets, stalled programs, frustrated teams, and strategies that looked perfect on paper but didn't survive reality – and yet, most leaders are still only hearing the success stories.

This is different. This content bundle brings together four candid, real-world transformation failures from experienced senior leaders who have been in the room, made the decisions, and seen what happens when things don't go to plan. No polish and no hindsight bias, just honest insight into what went wrong, and what they would do differently now. Together, these case studies offer European transformation leaders grounded insight from regional peers, enriched by two global perspectives that broaden context and sharpen decision-making.

As European organisations navigate their own transformation journeys, we surveyed over 100 U.S. enterprise transformation leaders to provide a clear benchmark for European executives looking to compare priorities, challenges, and progress with their U.S. counterparts.

This survey data will help you understand how organisations are navigating transformation today: from cadence and friction points to Agentic AI maturity, value creation, and the evolving scope of the Chief Transformation Officer role.

This infographic spotlights:

• Where transformation creates the most friction, and why people, culture, and leadership alignment remain the hardest challenges to solve.
• How far enterprises have progressed on the Agentic AI maturity curve, from early exploration to embedded adoption.
• The single biggest concern holding back enterprise AI adoption (and it's not regulation).     
• Which transformation approaches are delivering the most tangible value today, and where value remains unclear.
• How the CTRO role is expanding, and what leaders are prioritising over the next 12 months.

This infographic is essential reading for European leaders looking to benchmark transformation maturity, priorities, and AI readiness against U.S. peers, highlighting where to accelerate, recalibrate, or lead.

As organisations move beyond AI pilots, the challenge is no longer experimentation; it's execution. Transformation leaders are now responsible for scaling AI in a way that delivers real value, maintains trust, and keeps people at the core of change.

This shift from AI pilots to scalable agentic systems is raising critical questions around governance, accountability, regulations, and operating models. This infographic explores some of the trending Agentic AI predictions and how they may impact the future of business transformation.

• How Agentic AI will move from copilots to running policy-bound, enterprise-scale processes.

• How operating models must evolve as AI agents manage entire workflows and business functions.
• What transformation leaders need to put in place now to scale AI responsibly, with control, oversight, and clear human accountability.
