Digital and AI transformation is reshaping workplaces across the globe, but why do some organisations succeed while others struggle? What sets the leaders apart in navigating change effectively? 


In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Lucy Adams, CEO of Disruptive HR and former CHRO at the BBC and Eversheds. With years of experience modernising HR practices, Lucy has helped thousands of HR professionals move beyond outdated, process-heavy models to adopt agile, people-focused strategies that align with today’s fast-evolving business landscape. 


Together, they explore: 


  • The biggest challenges HR teams face in driving transformation 
  • Practical strategies for breaking large-scale change into manageable steps 
  • How to address the emotional and behavioural hurdles of transformation 
  • Tailoring change approaches to different groups (early adopters vs. resistors) 
  • How HR can equip business leaders to be effective change champions 
  • The key skills HR professionals need to thrive in an era of rapid transformation 


If your organisation is in the midst of change—or preparing for it—this conversation is packed with insights you can start implementing today.
