What Strategy Becomes
Conversations about what strategy becomes when organisations have to deliver it.
A new series of conversations with leaders working through consequential questions in AI, data, technology and organisational change.
Hosted by Rebecca Hastings, the series brings together senior leaders with first-hand experience of what happens when strategic intent meets operating reality.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Strategy changes when the organisation has to act on it.
The series explores what happens when leaders have to turn ambition into operating reality — making choices about investment, leadership, capability, governance, technology and organisational change.
The focus is on what leaders actually encountered, the decisions they made and what they learned when execution became difficult.
GUESTS & STORIES
Have a story worth examining?
I’m currently speaking with potential guests who have led through significant AI, data, technology or business transformation.
I’m particularly interested in experiences where the reality proved more complicated than the original strategy — difficult trade-offs, unexpected constraints, changes of direction, failures as well as successes, and lessons that would be useful to other senior leaders.
A useful conversation does not need a perfect outcome. It does need a real decision, meaningful consequence and something other leaders can learn from.
AI into operating use
Taking AI beyond experimentation and into real organisational processes, products or decisions.
Data and operating models
Changing how data, analytics or technology capability is organised, governed or owned.
Governance and constraint
Navigating regulation, risk, organisational resistance or other constraints that materially changed the approach.
Technology choices
Making consequential architecture, platform or investment decisions — particularly where the trade-offs were difficult.
Leadership and accountability
Redefining executive ownership, decision rights or leadership structures when the existing model was no longer working.
Changing course
What happened when the original strategy, assumption or plan did not work — and what had to change.
