Today every company is going through some kind of transformation. Transformation is a matter of survival. Many transformations are digital, some are strategic but all are about people. If learning about how to go about successfully transforming companies is relevant to your conference or event I am available to share my story.
I led the renowned DBS Transformation for 12 years. Since retiring from DBS I have worked with companies to help them design transformation programs. Transformation programs that are led by the people of the organisation not by experts or consultants. I have a unique perspective on what works and what does not.
Here is some feedback from recent engagements and examples of my webinars, conferences, videos and podcasts…
Feedback from Recent Engagements
“Jaw dropping“
“The most impactful session I have ever seen”
“The session is great and informative, Paul is a great speaker. There were so many valuable insights that he shared that meet changing business and market requirements”
“Paul’s session is truly fantastic and insightful. I particularly like the idea/insight on programmatic culture change and the suggestions on what DBS did to resolve conflict within the teams (structure, unified budgets, strategy, etc.). It’s not impossible for us to transform digitally, we just need to be brave enough to do it”
“An expert who has been there done that to share real practical examples and inspire confidence on the road ahead”
“Real life examples from DBS and the management impact / career shifts people experienced when they embraced digitization – inspiring”
