This is a YouTube video titled "Resolving Leadership Conflicts in Transformation Programmes" created in January 2025. It features Lindsay Jacobellis presenting a scenario about a leadership conflict between a CIO and a Business Transformation Director during a critical transformation program, inviting viewers to share their thoughts on how to resolve the tension and move the program forward.
Imagine you're a consultant brought in to guide a critical transformation program. The CIO wants a tech expert to lead, someone who understands the system inside out. The Business Transformation Director insists an experienced manager with a proven track record of delivering change is the better choice. Now both report directly to the CEO and the tension between them is delaying progress. And you're stuck in the middle. And the program's success hangs on this decision. So what would you do? Do you back the CIO side with the Business Transformation Director? Or escalate to the CEO? Or suggest something else? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
