The Digital Transformation Episode That Broke Our Records – with Wendy Isaacs
Manage episode 476165137 series 3599229
Before Season 7 lands... we're taking one last dive into the FODcast archives.
For our final re-run, we’re revisiting a conversation that happens to be our most viewed episode of all time on our YouTube channel.
Originally recorded and published in November 2024, this episode with Wendy Isaacs, Executive Director of Commerce and Experience Delivery at Valtech, still hits all the right notes for anyone navigating transformation in 2025.
Wendy’s journey - from the early days of CompuServe to leading cutting-edge digital strategy - offers powerful insights into change leadership. In this episode, she shares how successful transformation comes down to balancing people, culture, and strategic planning.
She also unpacks the difference between incremental and revolutionary change - an area that’s only grown more relevant with the rapid adoption of generative AI, evolving team structures, and the increasing pressure for businesses to adapt at speed.
Whether you’re a programme leader, a digital product owner, or someone driving culture change across your organisation, Wendy’s advice on strong programme management, effective product ownership, and building meaningful business partnerships remains essential listening.
