About this Event

The Change Paradox with Paul Farina and Guests


Is Transformation a good thing? If so, then what are the risks and costs? And, what is it about the way change is done that is suffocating people and results?

Paul brings fresh insights for leaders preparing to navigate rapid shifts in 2026 and beyond.

Paul has taught strategy to leaders for over a decade. Yet, recently he has researched the shadow side of transformation - the hidden killers of business results. In his keynote, The Change Paradox, you'll learn how change initiatives are causing the very problems they hope to solve.

In a world demanding transformation, Paul unpacks The Change Paradox: starve an organisation of it and fatigue festers, flood it with poorly designed strategy and people drown. Understanding this tension unlocks budget, energy, and potential for every leader.

A panel of real world Change Leaders will share their experiences from 'the belly of the beast'. Hear from leaders navigating these critical tensions and learn how you can evolve your strategic leadership.
