​iO Associates are delighted to bring you our second Leaders in Transformation & Technology Consulting Virtual Meetup!

The session included a number of panellists to discuss the topics. Our speakers included Adam Skinner, Director of Consulting at P2 Consulting, Andrew Pitkeathly, Head of Manchester Division at Nimble Approach, Darren Lynch, Head of Delivery at Difrent, and Ben Davison, Director at Axiologik, who participated in our session surrounding ‘Digital Transformations: What to do when it all goes wrong?'.

In the second instalment of our Leaders in Transformation Consulting series, we turned the tables and focused instead on what to do when a transformation has failed.

We asked our panellists to discuss several talking points, including:

·       Why ‘failure’ has a different definition based on who you ask

·       Repairing client relationships

·       Recovering projects before it’s too late
