In this episode of Digital Transformation & Leadership Danny Levy talks to Julian Mather who has seen the world through many lenses. Through a telescopic sight as an army sniper. Through the TV lens as a globe-trotting cameraman for ABCTV, National Geographic and BBC. And through smoke and mirrors as a professional magician.

Now a video magician, he turns busy bosses into trusted leaders. He inspires you to unleash your inner video star and - like magic - be in two places at once, cut meeting times in half, vanish emails and volia!... more time to be the great leader you want to be.

In this episode Julian shares his leadership lessons learned from his time as an army sniper, a globe-trotting cameraman and a magician, why video shyness isn't a life sentence and how to overcome it, and why the world's most effective yet inexpensive sales and marketing tool is the smartphone you already own.

In this episode of Digital Transformation & Leadership Danny Levy talks to Joanne Flinn a strategic and sustainability specialist who's led digital business change for over 20 years across 52 countries on 6 continents.

Joanne thinks great business is about money and meaning. It might be delivering a near billion dollar project which in the words of an IBM executive ‘that was a miracle’. Or being board advisor for an NGO whose ground breaking results are studied by the World Health Organisation for global rollout.

She's a specialist in Asia, trained at Oxford, lived in Australia. And on four other continents. Joanne's worked for every one of the big four and run a country practice for PricewaterhouseCoopers at 34. She was on the IT ExCo as head of change for DBS, one of Asia’s biggest banks.

After working with 50 organizations and a quarter million people through crises like SARS, 9/11, and varied financial turbulences well before the current COVID19, Joanne's developed a formula that helps leaders stay calm, productive and focused. Especially when you need to lead through ambiguity, navigate complexity, and multi-task.

In this episode Joanne simplifies the alphabet soup of sustainability, explains what sustainability does to directors responsibilities, and talks Danny through the risks and opportunities sustainability has to business models.

Company Values don’t come from a document that new hires read on Day 1 or from a fancy “About Us” page. Yet, leaders around the world make this mistake all the time. They believe that just “writing our values somewhere” will magically make everyone live up to them. It simply doesn’t work like that.

In this episode Patrick shares how to embed company values into every action, every document, and every piece of knowledge so that employees understand how the company was built and, most importantly, why. Patrick also talks about the strategy they’re using at Mindstone to be aligned all the time, while growing super fast.

In this episode of Digital Transformation & Leadership Danny Levy talks to Malcolm Harrison, CEO of The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) - A global not-for-profit organisation, serving the procurement and supply management profession.

The discussion is over. The debate on understanding sustainability is no more. It’s no longer a nice to have or a philanthropic business initiative, it’s a business imperative. The reality is that we are running short of vital resources at a greater rate than we are consuming them.  Wildfires draughts and floods are a regular occurrence, we can expect to live with pandemics for the foreseeable future – now is the time for us to get a handle on this.

Danny and Malcom get into how long lean supply chains and resilience should work together, why risk and sustainability are intertwined and a business imperative to attract customers, consumers, investors, employees and citizens, and the capabilities you need in your team to address sustainability in your supply chain.
