Andrew White from Saïd Business School and Adam Canwell from EY speak to Arnaud Soirat about leading a cultural transformation at global mining company Rio Tinto.

“What was important was to get started and then to leave room for people to experiment and improve.”

In the second series of Transformation Leadership2050 Dr Andrew White and Adam Canwell meet five global leaders who have led their organisations through significant change. What can we learn from their experience of addressing turning points in the transformation?

In this episode they are joined by Arnaud Soirat, the former Chief Operating Officer at Rio Tinto, who led the global mining group through a radical bottom-up cultural transformation of the company’s mindset and behaviour.

When Arnaud was called to head up a productivity transformation, he saw that the people at Rio Tinto were its greatest untapped potential to create a new competitive advantage. And so, unlike previous transformations that had been top-down and unsustainable, Arnaud and his team inverted the pyramid and asked those on the shopfloor and actually doing the work to lead on designing a new operating model.

What does it mean to lead with this philosophy?

In episode 5 Andrew talks to Peter Flavel, the CEO of iconic private bank Coutts, about reimagining its role in an era of rising inequality.

“Most people think this echelon of people don’t care. But they do care, they care a lot, and we need them to care because the amount of capital they control is important.”

Peter has more than 35 years’ of experience in international financial services. Before joining Coutts, he was the CEO of JP Morgan Private Wealth Management in Asia Pacific. He also spent nine years with Standard Chartered in Asia founding their global private bank in 2006.

Since joining Coutts in 2016, Peter has led a significant transformation at the bank, with a new focus on modernisation and responsible investments. Under Peter’s leadership Coutts became the first UK private bank to become a B Corp.

Andrew talks to Peter about modernising one of the oldest banks in the world, and his plans to build a bank that better reflects society.

In episode 4 Andrew talks to Cherrie Atilano, the CEO and President of the for-purpose agribusiness AGREA Agricultural Systems International.

“Every day I always ask myself, is this decision making me sleep peacefully at night. I hope to wake up every day with great optimism and great excitement to be alive because you’re doing something good, you’re changing lives.”

Cherrie Atilano is the “founding farmer” of AGREA, which aims to eradicate poverty for farming and fishing communities, alleviate the impact of climate change, and create food security in her home country of the Philippines.

One of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders of 2022, Cherrie talks to Andrew about how she founded her business on the core belief that dignifying the agricultural sector is key to its productivity, sustainability and being the point of change in the food system.

In this episode Andrew talks to Emma Howard Boyd CBE, the Chair of the Green Finance Institute and former Chair of England’s environmental regulator, about green finance and preparing for the coming climate storm.

“I think it’s about people who are focusing on solutions, who are focusing on a partnership approach, a collaborative approach, and who are listening.”

This decade is the most important in terms of the shift that needs to happen if we’re to meet our climate targets. And Emma Howard Boyd has been at the forefront of that here in the UK, with an extensive career in green finance.

From 2016 until September 2022 she was the Chair of England’s environmental regulator. She’s also the Chair of the Green Finance Institute and a Global Ambassador for the UN’s Race to Zero and Race to Resilience campaigns.

She talks to Andrew about the need for pace, boldness, kindness and compassion – and what’s on her leadership radar.

In this episode Andrew talks to Pinky Lilani, food guru, entrepreneur and champion of women in business, about why kindness is power.

“I like to make connections, make a difference to people’s lives without them even asking. Leaders must do things without people asking.”

Leadership is undergoing a profound revolution - those who show empathy and lead on social issues will thrive in the years ahead. And in this series you’ll meet global leaders who are showing the way.

Pinky Lilani started her professional life as a self-taught chef and author. Today she’s at the helm of a global network of women leaders.

Recognising and developing human potential is her super power. She is the founder and chair of a number of awards recognising influential women, including the annual Women of the Future Awards and the Asian Women of Achievement Awards. And in 2015 she was awarded a CBE for services to women in business.

In her conversation with Andrew she shares her insights into leadership - including why kindness is critical to business success and how to meaningfully improve diversity in an organisation.

In the first episode of a new series, Andrew talks to Jack Sim, the Founder and Director of the World Toilet Organisation.

“Today we say a billionaire is one who took a billion dollars from everyone else. We are incentivising selfishness. We need to define a billionaire as one who improved the life of a billion people.”

Dr Andrew White is a leadership coach and Senior Fellow in Management Practice at Said Business School, where his work focuses on leadership that’s fit for the 21st century. And in this podcast series Andrew is in conversation with exemplary leaders who are showcasing the new rules of leadership.

Kicking off Series 3, Andrew talks to Jack Sim, who is a remarkable example of what can be achieved when you lead for impact and purpose. Jack grew up in a slum in Singapore and describes himself as a “serial entrepreneur” – he has successfully set up 16 businesses - but “retired’ aged 40 to devote himself to changing the world. 

He looked for a wicked problem to fix, and turned his attention to sanitation – and in particular to toilets. According to the World Health Organisation, more than 1.7 billion people still do not have access to basic sanitation, such as private toilets or latrines. Of these, 494 million still defecate in the open.

To improve toilet conditions worldwide, Jack set up the “WTO” - the World Toilet Organisation.

He talks to Andrew about how he created a global movement with – in his words – no money no status, and only two other full-time members of staff. It is a true inspiration for anyone setting out to achieve what might look impossible.

His motto is: “Live a useful life”.

In episode 5 of this bonus miniseries of Leadership2050, Andrew White and co-host Adam Canwell of EY talk to Gaude Paez, Head of Global Corporate Affairs at Riot Games, about reshaping company culture.

Riot Games is the game developer and publisher behind blockbuster PC games such as League of Legends and Valorant. Gaude talks openly about the cultural transformations Riot Games undertook to shift the disruptive communication behaviors that had emerged over the years following a 2018 class-action lawsuit in the US and the impact of a global pandemic. How do you effectively reshape a company’s culture and reset expectations in the wake of a crisis? We’ll hear how co-constructing a social movement with leaders and the workforce is key.

Says Gaude: “The health of your workforce, how people work together towards a common goal, can make or break a company. Don’t underestimate as leaders the distance you might have from the day-to-day experience of some of your employees, so it’s helpful to get folks who are closer to that in the loop early. That really pays off in terms of striking the right tone. It’s all about the human element.”

For this special deep dive into transformation leadership Dr Andrew White has teamed up with research partner Adam Canwell from the EY organisation to explore the journey global leaders and their workforce went through as they successfully led their organisations through significant change. The series is part of a year-long research project in which Andrew and Adam’s team has surveyed 935 senior leaders and direct reports, as well as 1,127 workforce members from around the globe and across multiple industries. Their aim is to demystify the process of transformation.

In episode 4 of this bonus miniseries of Leadership2050, Andrew White and co-host Adam Canwell of EY talk to Christiane Wijsen, Head of Corporate Strategy and Consulting at Boehringer Ingelheim, about creating the social movement you need for a successful transformation.

Christiane shares her insights into the transformations she has led and how creating a belief system and sense of community will lead an organisation through radical change. Have a true interest in people, she stresses, as where it goes wrong is on the emotional side when people don’t buy into the transformation.    

Says Christiane: “Pick up by listening well to the true worries of people and the things you need to fix. You need very good emotional intelligence, listening skills and opening up, creating a safe environment where people can speak up and talk about their concerns. Don’t forget in any transformation you’re dealing with human beings.”

In episode 3 of this bonus miniseries of Leadership2050, Andrew White and co-host Adam Canwell of EY talk to Geoff Skingsley, the Chairman of L’Oréal UK and Ireland, a company that’s been at the forefront of transformation.

Geoff shares his insights into how L’Oréal reinvented itself as a digital-first company in 2013/14. How as a highly successful organisation can you get ahead of the disruptions you’re facing into? How do you create true belief in a transformation across a top team and out into an organisation? And how can leaders create an environment that constantly learns as you go forward?  

Says Geoff: “As part of the transformation strategy the entire executive committee was taken for a week to Silicon Valley. We bathed in disruption and saw first hand why they did it and how they did it. Because either we will take part in the disruption or we ourselves will be disrupted. This is what the future looks like.”
