Operations On Air

People and Culture at the Heart of Transformation

Season 1, Ep. 6

Through this podcast we seek to drive speed in transformation - we are committed to creating customer success through sustainable operations. In the sixth episode, we explore the evolving landscape of leadership - as well as coworkership. Our guest, Maria Rosenkrantz Sundemo, SVP People & Culture, shares insights on the strategies for building resilience and adaptability through people-centric practices. We are moving away from traditional decision-making roles towards roles that emphasize sense-making, and an even more people-centric approach - a transition where it becomes crucial for leaders to empower their teams, fostering a culture of collaboration and trust.
