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.”
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.
