Transformation is more than a buzzword. In this conversation from OPEX 222, leaders and thought provokers explore how empathy, sustainability and digitalization come together to help organizations rethink, react and transform for a more resilient and purpose-driven future.

Building successful transformations

Transformations fail when they focus only on processes and numbers. As Martin Lindström explains, true change starts with empathy and common sense. Successful leaders look at transformation as a human journey, taking people from point A to point B with purpose and meaning. The key is involving employees early and aligning around shared ownership of the change.

Embedding sustainability into operations

Novo Nordisk’s Circular for Zero strategy shows how purpose-driven sustainability can mobilize thousands of colleagues and suppliers. By combining formal structures with grassroots movements, they engage people across functions and geographies. Their approach highlights that long-term environmental goals must become tangible actions today, creating both business value and collective impact.

Shaping the future with digitalization

Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies demonstrates how intelligent automation and modular processes can speed up the delivery of life-saving medicine. Their digital transformation focuses on reducing lead time, improving quality and empowering employees with data-driven tools. The journey underlines that successful digital change depends as much on people and culture as on technology.

Turning insight into action

From harmonizing processes to collaborating across ecosystems, the event reminds leaders that thriving in uncertainty means acting with empathy, clarity and focus. Transformation is not a one-time project but a continuous journey of learning, innovation and purpose.
