| The Hidden Cost of Endless Alignment Loops with Jyoti Pandey (Senior Director, Global Finance Data Strategy Leader, Eli Lilly) | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:20:13 | |
What if the thing killing your transformation isn't resistance but too much alignment? Endless review cycles can feel like progress. Until you notice that things aren’t actually moving. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Jyoti Pandey discusses with Nellie Wartoft how over-alignment quietly stalls transformation and why building one tangible, working prototype does more to earn belief than any perfectly polished plan.

| Setting Up an RMO That Drives Outcomes with Erica Howard (Chief Strategy Officer, Peoplyst) | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:27:26 | |
When strategy execution belongs to everyone, it belongs to no one. It's an uncomfortable truth and one that shows up inside organizations of every size and every level of ambition. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Erica Howard discusses with Nellie Wartoft how Results Management Offices keep strategy alive by connecting what the business says it wants to achieve with what the enterprise is actually doing and why the credibility of these offices depends entirely on how close they stay to the real work.

| It's Not Change Fatigue, It's Clarity Fatigue with Alessandro Prieto (Managing Director, Human Resources Global Operations & Technology and HR Americas, Analog Devices) | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:18:56 | |
Most organizations treat change fatigue as an inevitable cost of doing business. Alessandro Prieto thinks we've been calling it the wrong thing entirely. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Alessandro Prieto discusses with Nellie Wartoft how change fatigue is really clarity fatigue, why middle managers are the most underappreciated transmission layer in any transformation, and what the difference between uncertainty and ambiguity means for every change leader.

| Green Dashboard Lies with Erica Howard (Chief Strategy Officer, Peoplyst) | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:25:26 | |
Most organizations build the office. Very few have the authority to go with it. If your transformation office has dashboards but not decision rights, you've created a reporting function but nothing more. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Erica Howard discusses with Nellie Wartoft how to know when you need an EPMO versus a PMO or TMO, why portfolio managers are fundamentally different from project and program managers, and what design choices actually give an EPMO the authority to force trade-offs instead of just tracking them.

| Turning AI Skeptics Into Believers with Trina Chatterjee (Senior Director, Global Account Management & GTM, Chief Client Office, CBRE) | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:28:59 | |
Nobody responds well to a mandate, especially not when your workforce is being told which AI tool to use. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Trina Chatterjee discusses with Nellie Wartoft why buy-in beats top-down mandates for AI adoption and how starting from a team's real pain points builds lasting usage.

| Why Western Change Playbooks Break in Asia with Jasleen Randhawa (Founder & Managing Director, Beacons & Bridges) | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:32:00 | |
You spent three months building a change roadmap. You rolled it out across Asia. Everyone nodded. Nobody pushed back. Six months later, nothing has moved. Sound familiar? In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Jasleen Randhawa discusses with Nellie Wartoft how to read the signals that Asia uses instead of direct feedback, why consensus-building before implementation leads to faster results, and how to structure bridge roles that actually get global initiatives moving locally.

| Work Redesign as the Real AI Challenge with Alessandro Prieto (Managing Director, Human Resources - Global Operations & Technology and HR Americas, Analog Devices) | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:31:57 | |
Most organizations treat AI the same way they treated ERP implementations. They buy the technology, build the infrastructure, run the pilots, and call it done. But that's exactly where the wheels fall off. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Alessandro Prieto discusses with Nellie Wartoft how treating AI as a digital worker rather than a tool changes the entire approach to adoption, why work redesign must happen in parallel with technology deployment, and what organizations that are winning the AI race are doing differently.

| The Local Playbook for Global Rollouts with Paul Haddon (SVP, Strategic Execution, Experian Software Solutions, Experian) | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:24:29 | |
The frozen middle doesn't resist change because they're difficult. They resist because they're being told to serve two masters at once… and nobody is really acknowledging how hard that is. In this week's episode of The Only Constant, Paul Haddon discusses with Nellie Wartoft how global platform transformations get stuck at the middle layer, what it took to unfreeze that layer at Experian, and how a shift to servant leadership and lead-region rollouts changed everything.

| The Professional Services Transformation Playbook with Jasleen Randhawa (Founder and Managing Director, Beacons & Bridges) | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:27:06 | |
Corporate change frameworks were built for… corporations. In a professional services partnership, they don't just underperform. They can collapse entire transformation programs before implementation even starts. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Jasleen Randhawa discusses with Nellie Wartoft how the assumptions built into standard change management models break down in partnership structures, why formal approval is not the same as authority to execute, and what a bespoke approach to transformation in professional services actually looks like.

| PMO, RMO, TMO and Which One Your Org Actually Needs with Erica Howard (Chief Strategy Officer, Peoplyst) | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:27:33 | |
Your PMO dashboard is green. Your milestones are hit. So why isn't the business actually moving? In this week's episode of The Only Constant, Erica Howard discusses with Nellie Wartoft how organizations mistake governance theater for real accountability, why the right office for real transformation depends on organizational maturity, and what leaders need to change about themselves before any structure can actually deliver results.

| The Finance Lens for Transformation Prioritization with Heather Anthony (SVP, Head of Enterprise Transformation, IMAX) | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:30:37 | |
Most transformation teams have a bias toward action. That urgency is a feature… until it's a bug. When benefits go unquantified and projects launch without a financial lens, the credibility cost compounds fast. In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Heather Anthony discusses with Nellie Wartoft how applying a finance-first prioritization lens from day one protects transformation credibility, drives better project outcomes, and helped her team extract over a million dollars from the portfolio before execution even began.

| Turning Regulatory Change into Strategic Transformation with Kitty Nguyen (Managing Director, RBC) | 19 May 2026 | 00:27:56 | |
Regulatory change doesn’t have to be a drag on the business. It can be the foundation that makes growth (and AI) possible. In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Kitty Nguyen discusses with Nellie Wartoft how regulatory initiatives can be reframed from unavoidable speed bumps into strategic opportunities for innovation by anchoring work in the why and building a true foundation of sustainable capabilities.

| Building a Case for Change in Insurance with Awais Farooq (Chief Claims Officer, Venbrook) | 05 May 2026 | 00:23:55 | |
If your “automation” still needs a human behind the curtain, is it automation at all? In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Awais Farooq discusses with Nellie Wartoft how insurers get stuck layering new tools on broken legacy systems, why “mainframes to cloud” is still a real transformation driver in this sector, and how leaders can avoid the “ATM with a person handing you cash” trap by fixing their ecosystem before scaling automation.

| Maturity Assessments Across Sites Post-M&A with Sam Low (Global Transformation Leader - Capex Efficiency, Syngenta) | 21 Apr 2026 | 00:23:53 | |
Standardization is easy on paper. The real test is whether it still works when 25 sites all have different histories and constraints. In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Sam Low discusses with Nellie Wartoft how to build a maturity assessment that’s consistent globally while still letting each site meet the standard in their own way. They’ll also discuss how to bucket sites by maturity, reframing maturity scores from judgment to opportunity, and use success stories to build belief across sites.

| Case Story: Workday Implementation for Frontline Employees with Eliza Fendell (Director of Technology Change Enablement, Ryder System) | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:30:30 | |
What happens when your “Plan A” for change becomes impossible overnight? In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Eliza Fendell unpacks with Nellie Wartoft how a global pandemic forced a total rethink of change communication: shifting from in-person roadshows to “roadshows in a box,” empowering managers, using gamification, and even mailing 35,000 postcards to get the message across.

| AI Application: Bottom Up Innovation vs. Top Down Governance with Leah Bray (Founder, TeamFWRD) | 24 Mar 2026 | 00:26:01 | |
AI adoption doesn’t equal AI ROI. In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Leah Bray discusses with Nellie Wartoft how a bottom-up, intake-driven approach can democratize adoption but also create tool proliferation, duplicated efforts, and fragmented processes without governance. They unpack what “healthy grassroots innovation” looks like, why transformation offices are key to governance, and how to unlock real enterprise-level ROI from AI.

| Finding, Evaluating and Prioritizing AI Use Cases with Jacques McGregor (VP Digital Transformation, Marathon Petroleum Corporation) | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:29:22 | |
Is your organization asking the wrong questions about AI? In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Jacques McGregor discusses with Nellie Wartoft how organizations often approach AI adoption backwards, focusing on technology before business problems. They break down the three flavors of AI, explore why “Copilot” isn’t a silver bullet, and share structured frameworks for finding high-impact use cases.

| Persona Driven Transformation with Awais Farooq (Chief Claims Officer, Venbrook) | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:27:00 | |
Alignment is often underestimated as a single “yes.” Transformation just doesn’t work that way. In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Awais Farooq discusses with Nellie Wartoft how real alignment comes from designing for difference: segmenting people by adoption behavior, tailoring communication by role & channel, and using real adoption signals to adjust in real time. They also dig into why top-down cascades miss the people most impacted, how to uncover “what’s in it for me” at scale, and why premortems & postmortems are the difference between learning and repeating the same mistakes with new packaging. Awais Farooq is the Chief Claims Officer at Venbrook and a senior insurance executive, transformation strategist, and keynote speaker with nearly two decades of experience across State Farm, Farmers, Chubb, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD, and Crawford & Company. Recognized as a national voice on insurance innovation and claims transformation, Awais has spoken at leading industry conferences and executive leadership forums. His thought leadership has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and PropertyCasualty360. He holds the CPCU, AIC, and AIC-M designations from The Institutes. His upcoming book, The Future Isn’t Fully Automated: Why Humans Still Matter in a High-Tech World, examines how AI and automation are reshaping insurance while reinforcing the enduring importance of human judgment, empathy, and leadership.

| Scalable Manufacturing Transformation with Sam Low (Global Transformation Leader - Capex Efficiency, Syngenta) | 10 Feb 2026 | 00:26:38 | |

In this week’s episode of the Only Constant, Sam Low (Global Transformation Leader - Capex Efficiency at Syngenta) discusses with Nellie Wartoft how he rolled out eight major processes in eight months by locking in dedicated full-time resources, earning buy-in from site leadership early, and structuring the work into five clear phases (from readiness and diagnostics through sustainment).

When was the last time your organization redesigned work, not just reorganized jobs? Ravin Jesuthasan, bestselling author and global leader for transformation services at Mercer, explains why work redesign is the missing foundation for successful transformation. Drawing from his books "Work Without Jobs" and "The Skills-Powered Organization," Ravin shares how deconstructing work into its core tasks and redeploying them efficiently led to extraordinary results—like an oil company cutting performance variance from 35% to 2.3% without layoffs.
