Change and Transformation. What if the way most organisations approach transformation is fundamentally flawed?

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Day turns the usual change management playbook on its head. Drawing on decades of work with leaders across sectors and continents, he explores why transformation isn’t something you can manage from the top – and why the real work is social, emotional, and far messier than any plan on paper.

We dig into what really happens to people during change, why standard tools often miss the point, and how leaders can work with – rather than against – the human side of transformation.

Dr. Andrew Day has over 30 years’ experience working with leaders across the globe to develop and improve how organisations function. He believes that lasting, meaningful change happens only when those affected are actively involved in co-creating new working practices and structures.

His work has taken him around the world with clients in the private, public and third sectors, including Ford Motor Company, GSK, BP, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, the UK Civil Service, Cancer Research UK, the NHS and many more.

A former internal consultant at Ford Motor Company and senior member of faculty at Ashridge Business School, Andrew combines first-hand insight into the realities of organisational life with a deep grounding in the research and theory of organisational development and transformation.

He specialises in team facilitation, executive coaching, systemic consulting and participative organisation design, and is the author of Disruption, Change & Transformation in Organisations, which explores the impact and consequences of disruptive change – and how people can navigate it effectively.
