Claire Braund in conversation with Lisa Carlin - Transformational change and the importance of community

Women on Boards: Leader, directors & subject matter experts in conversation with Claire Braund

Growing up in South Africa Lisa Carlin experienced apartheid in its truest form. “I just felt this complete sense of unfairness of it all, and that's really carried with me today” she says. Through this she has become extremely passionate about transformation to give a voice to those who don’t have one.

Lisa is the cofounder and CEO of global advisory FutureBuilders Group and author of Turbocharge weekly. Her portfolio includes mentoring founders and CEOs in the HRTech, EdTech and workplace talent sector, she is on the Advisory board for Rebelliuz and Chair of the University of Cape Town Australia Trust.

In this podcast Lisa talks to Claire about how her desire to embed transformational change stems from her upbringing in South Africa and how this has carried with her to the workplace today. She says while it's important for organisations to understand workplace transformation on many levels, it imperative just to stay relevant and ahead of disruption.

Lisa’s professional focus is to accelerate growth transformation and scale ups, which she explains is more about strategy execution than strategy. She stresses the importance of culture and talks about why it’s one of the main reasons that execution fails. She also discusses her appetite for risk, the reason she sits on an Advisory board and why her mantra is “Communities magnify momentum”.
