Episode 7: Rethinking Work, Talent, and the Future of Enterprise - Rishad Tobaccowala

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, May 12, 2025 • Duration 01:07:38

In this powerful episode of Transformation Every Day, Alexander Greb sits down with renowned author, futurist, and business thinker Rishad Tobaccowala at SAP’s Newtown Square Experience Center. The conversation moves far beyond buzzwords—straight into the core questions shaping the future of work, leadership, and transformation.

Rishad shares provocative insights from his latest book, Rethinking Work, and draws from decades of experience helping organizations adapt to massive change. From the train ride in from Manhattan to his next event in Panama, this dialogue spans everything from organizational design to AI, hybrid work, talent strategy, and the hard truths leaders often avoid.

You’ll hear:

Why companies don’t change—people do
How AI is augmenting human intelligence, not replacing it
The future of organizations where most talent might be outside the org chart
What it takes to build trust, agility, and alignment in a fast-changing world
And why the biggest risk is not moving too fast—but moving too slow while the world changes around you

Plus: insights into how Rishad uses AI as a thought partner (but not a ghostwriter), why most return-to-office mandates miss the point, and the one question every leader should ask themselves: “What is a good life?”

Whether you're a leader, a change agent, or simply rethinking your role in the new world of work—this episode will challenge and inspire you.
