Andrew White at Saïd Business School and Adam Canwell at EY discuss how to overcome the challenges of radical business transformation with Dr Mohamed Althaf, the director of supermarket giant Lulu Group International.
“Every leader with an ambition and intention to make things better should strike because everything is ready for you.”
In Transformation Leadership2050 Dr Andrew White and Adam Canwell at EY explore the journey a number of global leaders and their workforce went through as they successfully led their organisations through significant change.
In this series Andrew and Adam focus on the specific area of turning points. These are those moments every organisation faces in a transformation which can lead to failure or create positive momentum and accelerate your business into the future. They speak to five top executives who share their insights and experience of the pitfalls and the keys to success, looking at listening, sense-making, early warning systems and the human dynamics that drive organisational change.
In this episode they talk to Mohamed Althaf, the director of Lulu Group International, about the challenges of transforming the Qatar-based company to be more sustainable.
Lulu is a supermarket giant with 300 stores in six countries, based in the Middle East. When director Mohamed decided to push a new ESG agenda, he faced pushback in the region but also within the company. He talks to Andrew and Adam about managing disruption and bringing the workforce and leadership team onboard by embodying curiosity and hunger for change.
