One week on from #OPEXWeek 2025 – and we’re missing the sun and energy onsite.   Looking back, one thing is clear: the future of business transformation is happening now. The event brought together some of the most forward-thinking leaders and organisations, offering deep insights, real-world case studies, and cutting-edge innovations.   💡 Themed tracks & in-depth workshops provided industry-specific transformation strategies 🤝 Meaningful connections were built, opening doors to new collaborations and partnerships 🚀 Keynotes from brands like Walmart, JP Morgan, and MIT showcased the boldest transformation stories 🤖 The AI Innovation Zone demonstrated how emerging technologies are reshaping enterprises   What was your key learning from the event? Let’s keep the conversation going and turn insights into action!

What game are you playing, and how are you winning? What’s your unique edge in achieving company goals? How is your business transformation driving new business models, innovation, and customer experience? These were just a few of the thought-provoking questions tackled at OPEX Week: Business Transformation World Summit, where I was a speaker last week and where hundreds of leaders from around the world gathered to share insights, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. Here are some of my key takeaways: ✅ Transformation isn’t a one-time event—it’s a continuous process. Leaders must regularly assess complexity across business models, operations, and people, all while keeping an external lens. ✅ Momentum follows ownership. A clear North Star is critical; real change requires a growth mindset and discipline. The earlier leaders engage their teams, the higher the chances of success in transformation as people are making the difference. ✅ Innovation is about differentiation. The best breakthroughs solve customer pain points or introduce something truly new (e.g. like how robotic food delivery is scaling rapidly in the U.S.) ✅ AI is here to stay. Agentic AI is emerging, meaning AI systems will increasingly understand who we are and what we need, helping to create seamless experiences. But one thing is clear-we don’t want AI making all the decisions. ✅ Lessons from an Olympian. Regan Smith, 22-year-old — gold medalist and world record holder, reminded us that success comes from showing up for yourself every day, staying humble yet confident, and doing the work—not for validation from others, but for your own growth. And, of course, reconnecting with familiar faces like Carolyn Lum (great hosting of the event) and Cathy Gu (successfully leading the entire #OPEXWeek), along with meeting new leaders, was a highlight. Excited to continue these conversations! Here’s to more collaboration, best practice sharing and new adventures in business transformation. 🚀 #Leadership #Innovation #BusinessTransformation #operationalexcellence #continuousimprovement #eon

Excited to share insights from my recent fireside chat at OPEX Week: Business Transformation World Summit on "Leveraging the agile model to drive the transformation agenda," moderated by my peer, Andrea Giannotta, MBA. In today's rapidly evolving energy and utilities industry, building agility is crucial for staying ahead of market changes, technological advancements, and evolving customer needs. Our chat delved into the importance of adopting an agile model to navigate this transformation effectively. Key takeaways: 🔹 Agility in the energy sector: Emphasizing the need for energy companies to adapt quickly to the shift towards clean, affordable, and reliable energy. 🔹 Building blocks of an agile model: A four-step blueprint for successful transformation, focusing on setting goals, analyzing processes, matching technology to needs, and engaging employees. 🔹 Impact of automation and digital technologies: Highlighting the importance of clear goals, understanding processes, and having a solid data ecosystem in place. 🔹 Sustainable change management: Breaking down big projects into smaller, manageable parts and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Thanks to all attendees for an engaging and insightful discussion. Let's continue drive transformation in the energy sector! ⚡🌍 #Energy #Utilities #Transformation #Opexweek
