Conference Day Two: May 20th, 2026

5:00 PM WHY TRANSFORMATIONS FALL APART?

We hear a lot of successful transformation stories at conferences. The reality, though, is that the majority of transformation programmes fail and those are the moments where we learn the biggest lessons. This session is designed for leaders to challenge and interrogate the true reasons behind their failed transformation efforts, providing a rare and unique opportunity to draw the most valuable lessons from an honest, raw and peer-led dialogue format.

• Sharing examples of where transformation efforts fall apart

• Digging deep into the reasons behind these failed efforts

• What could have been done differently?
