    I was recently asked by a global board member “What’s your secret sauce?”. I openly and honestly replied, “lots of hard work, sound strategic partnerships, a paradigm shift in mindset and capability, a proven approach in execution with a relentless focus on organisation engagement”.

    2 Challenge current organisational thinking and behaviour
    regarding transformation.

    The 21st Century has seen a proliferation of disruptive
    technologies and terminologies, overlaid with increased
    vendor rhetoric and hype. If implemented correctly, there
