Charley Lucas (Interim IT Manager at Annapurna) continues his latest podcast series with leaders in the IT space by sitting down with Ralf Hellebrand (Head of Division IT at Vodafone) for an insightful discussion on ‘Gliding Through Transformation’.
In this episode, Ralf delves into the growing pressures of today’s accelerated and unpredictable business climate and its impact on leading transformations.
Ralf highlights that business stability has diminished compared to decades ago and emphasised the need to master the skill of managing the “known unknowns” in order to execute successful transformations.
During the discussion, Ralf’s fascinating and unique hobby became apparent – gliding planes, which surprisingly has a lot more in common with transformation leadership than you’d initially think.
Drawing a unique analogy, Ralf explained that just as gliders rely on unpredictable natural forces, transformation leaders must navigate uncertain environments.
Whether you work in IT, are leading (or preparing to lead) your organisation through a complex transformation, or are simply intrigued by the art of gliding, this episode is packed with actionable insights and practical advice.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
