THE TRANSFORMATION TALKS PODCAST
Tune into your go-to podcast for accessing insights from senior decision-makers across the global transformation space. Formed alongside our formidable advisory board, we're thrilled to bring you these insightful discussions.
Episode 5: Re-Imagining the Way we Work
In this special episode of Transformation Talks, Ben sat down with Jessie Qin, EY Global Consulting AI Go to Market Leader, Global Data Officer.
Filmed just ahead of our CIO Exchange, (of which EY is the Lead Sponsor) Jessie explored the CIO as a Transformation leader, considering how their role is evolving from pure technology leader to being a natural bridge between new capability and business value creation.
Listen in to understand the importance of shifting our mindset - rather than just our toolset or skill set - to fundamentally reimagine the way we work. As Jessie explains, by building with AI rather than bolting it on to legacy systems and processes, we have a unique opportunity to enhance that all-important ROI from today’s AI investments.
Episode 4: Navigating Uncertainty
Reflections with McKinsey on North America’s
Chief Transformation Officer Boardroom
We’re back with another on-site episode of Transformation Talks. Recorded at the Business Transformation World Summit in January 2026, we’re joined on the Pod this time by Dominic Skerritt, a Partner with McKinsey & Company’s Transformation Practice.
In this conversation, Dom shares key takeaways from the Chief Transformation Officer Boardroom, an exclusive BTWS convening for senior transformation leaders, which McKinsey hosted as Knowledge Partner. Listen to this episode to understand why and how the disruptive power of agentic is driving demand for Transformation capabilities, how the purpose and output of Transformation is evolving to meet growing macro uncertainty, and how Transformation leaders can balance long-term strategic vision with day-to-day program execution.
Episode 3: An Easier Life?
Building the AI-Enabled Transformation Office
Recorded on-site at the Business Transformation World Summit in Miami, we're joined on the Pod by Nellie Wartoft, CEO of Tigerhall.
Following her packed-out keynote, Nellie talks us through her vision for the AI-Enabled Transformation Office. With a strong reputation for moving Transformation from vision through execution, Nellie explains how AI can be applied to the fabric of the TMO itself – thereby generating far greater value for the enterprise.
Episode 2: Finding The Spark
Designing Transformations that Stick
Following last episode's look at ESG Transformation, this conversation welcomes back former interviewee Milan Lakhani, of Konica Minolta, this time as a guest host. Joining us on the Pod is Kanak Tripathi, Former Head of Transformation from Swiss Re Solutions.
Here we discussed why a non-holistic approach to designing and building transformations can often work against their enduring impact - or "stickiness" - and how debunking our approach to transformation design can change that.
Episode 1: Sustainability and Business Transformation
In anticipation of Business Transformation Europe Summit 2026, we kicked off Transformation Talks in 2026 with insights from
Milan Lakhani, Director of Digital and Sustainable Business Transformation at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe
In this brilliant conversation alongside Business Transformation's Ben Shirrefs-McClatchie, we discuss the crucial role that Environmental, Social & Governance initiatives play in Business Transformation.
