Being the biggest leader in your industry sector doesn’t guarantee the future anymore. These days it can be quite the opposite, as we continue to witness big-dog leaders being dethroned by the next generation of agile tech-enabled competitors.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show we have a sit down with Wayne Levings, a CEO, Chief Client Officer, and Executive Committee Member at Kantar, to learn from one of the biggest reboots of our decade.For Kantar, the struggle over the last decade has been real, as they have been through multiple reboots, adapting to the global power shifts in the market. The first reboot came with a mandate to breakup some of the pieces and spinout the company from the WPP Mothership through a partnership with Bain Capital. Now on their own, Kantar is a $3.5B marketing data and analytics powerhouse with 25,000 employees operating in 100 countries. With massive backing from Bain they have an opportunity to invest in next-gen areas, like AI and automation, and seize what’s next. But it won’t be easy to fight back and disrupt the disruptive disruptors.Watch or listen as we unpack this exciting reboot in progress, as they search for the perfect balance of AI and human-driven data—with a sneak peek into the future in this frothy hyper-competitive market being disrupted by AI.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
