Arnaud Soirat, Rio Tinto
Andrew White from Saïd Business School and Adam Canwell from EY speak to Arnaud Soirat about leading a cultural transformation at global mining company Rio Tinto. “What was important was to get started and then to leave room for people to experiment and improve.” In the second series of Transformation Leadership2050 Dr Andrew White and Adam Canwell meet five global leaders who have led their organisations through significant change. What can we learn from their experience of addressing turning points in the transformation? In this episode they are joined by Arnaud Soirat, the former Chief Operating Officer at Rio Tinto, who led the global mining group through a radical bottom-up cultural transformation of the company’s mindset and behaviour. When Arnaud was called to head up a productivity transformation, he saw that the people at Rio Tinto were its greatest untapped potential to create a new competitive advantage. And so, unlike previous transformations that had been top-down and unsustainable, Arnaud and his team inverted the pyramid and asked those on the shopfloor and actually doing the work to lead on designing a new operating model. What does it mean to lead with this philosophy?

Junaid Ahmed, Applied Materials
Andrew White at Saïd Business School and Adam Canwell at EY explore the key to successful business transformation with Junaid Ahmed from Applied Materials. “In a rapidly changing and dynamic business environment it’s essential for companies and people to be comfortable and proactive about transformation, it’s the calling of our time.” In Transformation Leadership2050 Dr Andrew White and Adam Canwell at EY explore the journey a number of global leaders and their workforce went through as they successfully led their organisations through significant change. Why do most transformations fail to deliver the value that organisations expect? And what should CEOs do when a transformation goes off track? These questions have confounded companies around the world over for decades. In 2021, the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School and EY formed a long-term research collaboration to find out why. In this new series Andrew and Adam focus on the specific area of turning points. These are those moments every organisation faces in a transformation which can lead to failure or create positive momentum and accelerate your business into the future. They speak to five top executives who share their insights and experience of the pitfalls and the keys to success, looking at listening, sense-making, early warning systems and the human dynamics that drive organisational change. In the first episode of the new series they talk to Junaid Ahmed, Corporate Vice President and Head of Corporate Planning at Applied Materials, a supplier to semiconductor manufacturers with US$25b in revenue that undertook a systemic robotic process automation (RPA) transformation. Junaid’s experience reveals how transformation only works if people are at the centre. As a leader, you will drive success if you are present, both physically and emotionally. Be brave and act early to build the capability of your team and the legacy of your transformation will be a willingness to adapt and not see change as a threat.
