Change Management: Navigating AI in Organisations with Christopher Martlew

Join Christopher Martlew as he shares essential strategies for managing change in the era of AI and rapid business evolution. Managing change is perhaps the most challenging of capabilities, not just for organisations but for individuals, teams and leaders, too. We may not know exactly how the intersection of AI and business will impact our lives, but it will definitely involve significant transformations. Faster and more frequent change, too.

In this episode of Curious Business, I talk to Christopher Martlew, author of Leadership Recharged and Changing the Mind the Organisation. He explains how we need to make strategy more organic and responsive. Leaders need to move beyond vision-setting, owning change so they can accelerate and improve their ability to adapt. In the process, we discussed topics like:

• Do people actually like change, and how well-prepared are we for it?
• What happens when the AI agent on your management board disagrees with the rest of the leadership team?
• Is having 53 direct reports the way for leaders to go?
• What happens when IT is everywhere, not just in the IT department?
