Can an 800-person agency group really operate with no central authority, shared equity, and radical autonomy?No hierarchy. No holding company control. No single point of accountability. So… HOW does it actually work?A skeptical leader challenges Tim Ringel:

Havas Group, the world’s fifth-largest advertising network, counts India as one of its most successful markets. In this special Corner Office Conversation, Yannick Bolloré, Chairman and CEO of Havas Group, talks to Ratna Bhushan about why Indian branding and advertising is a “completely different world”. With several big accounts such as Reckitt Benckiser, HUL and Tata Steel and a headcount that has grown 10X in eight years and poised to double in the next few, Havas is betting big on India's booming middle class, digital-first consumers, and world-class talent base. Bolloré shares how India’s digitisation story where digital ad spends have overtaken traditional media offers a blueprint for the future. He also explains why Havas embraced AI early, how it’s slashing production costs while enabling hyper-personalised campaigns and why he wants every Havas employee to be AI-trained. Bolloré also discusses how geopolitical uncertainty from Trump’s tariffs to regional tensions continues to have an impact on advertising.

India once seen as a tea stronghold is emerging as a dynamic market for premium coffee. One brand leveraging this pivot is Costa Coffee. The British coffee house has a strange business arrangement in India. Owned by Coke, its outlets are operated by Pepsi’s biggest Indian bottler.

In this episode, Philippe Schaillee, Global CEO at Costa Coffee, talks to host Ratna Bhushan about how the legacy brand is blending tradition with the agility of a startup to win over a new generation of coffee enthusiasts.

Fred Cook kicks off a timely conversation on the future of public relations—through the lens of generational differences and shared experiences. The episode unpacks key insights from the USC Center for PR's 2025 Global Communication Report: Mind The Gap, which examines how four major forces—AI, hybrid work, media evolution, and polarization—are reshaping the industry and impacting the four generations working within it.Moderated by Barby K. Siegel, Global CEO of Zeno Group, the panel explores questions like:How do different generations view AI's role in the future of PR?What does true collaboration across age groups look like?How can organizations foster flexibility without sacrificing culture?How should communicators approach purpose-driven work amid growing polarization and risk aversion?Key Discussion Highlights:AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: AI is seen as a career-enhancing tool that frees up time for creativity and strategic thinking — but panelists caution against using it as a crutch, emphasizing the need to maintain strong writing and critical thinking skills.Hybrid Work Expectations: Younger generations value autonomy and flexibility, with many willing to take pay cuts for remote options. But panelists stress that trust, clear expectations, and intentional relationship-building remain critical in hybrid settings.Media Consumption Gaps: Gen Z leans into social and influencer-driven media, while older generations still prioritize traditional outlets like The New York Times and CNN. The takeaway? Successful communicators must be media-fluid and audience-focused.The Purpose Divide: Younger employees (especially Gen Z) expect companies to take stands on social issues, even as overall industry willingness to engage has dropped sharply—from 89% in 2023 to 52% in 2025.Soft Skills Still Reign: From phone calls to peer reviews, interpersonal communication, empathy, and networking remain essential soft skills for all generations.Call for Collaboration: Panelists advocate for breaking down hierarchies by bringing younger professionals into leadership conversations early and often. Generational gaps should be "galvanized," not just "minded."Reports: 2025 Global Communication Report: https://annenberg.usc.edu/research/center-public-relations/global-communication-reportFeaturing:    •    Fred Cook (USC Annenberg Center for PR)    •    Kelly McGinnis (Levi Strauss & Co.)    •    Sona Iliffe-Moon (Yahoo)    •    Bill Imada (IW Group)    •    Kyndall L.

We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide.This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change', ‘No Bullshit Leadership', and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success'. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive.Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action.Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris' upcoming book here.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indispensable-Seven-Ways-Thrive-Workplace/dp/1529051754 ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Logicalis, the leading global technology service provider, has released its annual CIO Report, which reveals that 95% of CIOs are actively investing in technology to create new revenue streams within the next 12 months. According to the report - which surveyed 1,000 CIOs from across the globe, including Ireland - the CIO role is no longer focused on enablement but on shaping business strategy and driving value, with nearly all CIOs (94%) regularly reporting to the board on return on investment (ROI). This expanded mandate is heightened by the rapid emergence of new technologies. The report found that almost all organisations are exploring how next-generation technologies can specifically support commercial growth. This trend shows no sign of slowing, with Artificial Intelligence (AI - 95%), machine learning capabilities (93%), and Internet of Things (IoT - 89%) initiatives among the most widely adopted emerging technologies over the past 12 months. Realising value from these investments remains a challenge with 85% of CIOs reporting a growing pressure for technology to demonstrate tangible business impact and many (64%) acknowledging that their next-generation technology investments have yet to deliver anticipated returns. As the gap between balancing investments and realised value intensifies, CIOs remain optimistic about the potential of these technologies. Still, most tech leaders (93%) continue to juggle limited time and resources to ensure better business outcomes. As CIOs consider innovations that support future growth, they must continue to navigate business-critical objectives. Despite unprecedented spending on security solutions, 88% experienced cybersecurity incidents in the last 12 months last year, with 43% enduring multiple breaches raising questions about the effectiveness of security spending. One area where they are beginning to see tangible financial results is through the integration of environmental technologies. Nine in ten (91%) CIOs have realised direct commercial benefits, and over half (53%) report these as significant. With a good track record, it is no surprise that those investing in environmental sustainability initiatives have risen from 92% in 2023 to 95% over the past 12 months. On this year's report, Bob Bailkoski, Global CEO of Logicalis Group, said: "For almost every business, technology has become the primary engine of innovation, growth and resilience. With this dependence comes a new expectation of CIOs - they're no longer just enablers of business strategy but drivers of commercial success. Whether through maintaining a keener focus on ROI from next-generation technologies, optimising security spending or maximising the financial benefits of sustainability initiatives, technology leaders need to seek out the right investments and partnerships that can help them deliver on their business goals." While most CIOs are confident that their IT spending is yielding a return, many (91%) believe there is room for improvement. As challenges around complexity, resources and performance visibility remain, the report highlights the importance of fostering strong technology partnerships to help CIOs meet this changing landscape, alleviate pressures and unlock value. Additional findings on innovation 94% agree the CIO role is becoming a key part of shaping business strategy and direction 94% report their organisation is exploring how next-generation technology can support their commercial growth 94% of CIOs are actively seeking opportunities to incorporate AI into their business, compared to 89% last year 86% report growing pressure within their organisation to ensure ROI from AI Additional findings on sustainability 95% say their organisation is increasing their investment in environmental sustainability initiatives and/or technologies, compared to 92% last year 94% think IT is core to the success of their organisation's sustainability goals, compared to 93% last year 93% report their organisation se...

Lesley Uren, Global CEO of Consulting for Korn Ferry, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of The Future of the Firm podcast to discuss where the hot spots and challenges in human capital consulting are today, and where clients' needs are set to shift in this space.  Lesley shares her insight on the following matters and more:  Volatility in the market for human capital consulting is being driven by large macro factors that are impacting clients' appetite to invest. This uncertainty is likely to persist, and consulting firms need to be able to pivot quickly to respond to clients' changing business issues.   CEOs are facing a big challenge around maintaining business performance as they transform their organisations. AI is one of the big triggers here, as leaders start to rethink their business models, but there are other drivers too, including cost pressures.   Data, including the use of data to create insights, is set to be the biggest change in human capital consulting. We discuss the power of unlocking client data and combining that with a firm's data to reveal hidden information about talent and drive better business performance.  The big questions from clients around AI include: How can we redesign our organisation? How will work be different? What kind of skills will we need? Where will we find those skills at scale? How can we galvanise our people behind this change? How will softer skills ensure this transition is successful?   The political temperature around DEI is impacting the type of support clients need in this area. We discuss what is changing and what is staying the same.    Firms will need to think differently about demonstrating value to clients. It's about more than processing and sythesising data now: It's about proving impact.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In a recent episode, we talked to Sarah Ricketts, SVP for Procurement at Rolls-Royce, about transforming procurement with data, culture, and tech.

Out-of-home advertising isn't just about billboards anymore. With data-driven targeting, creative innovations, and deep measurement capabilities, the OOH industry has transformed into a sophisticated media channel that deserves a bigger seat at the table. In this episode of Insider Interviews, I got to explore the great outdoors with David Krupp, Global CEO of Billups, and Jaime Byrdak, CEO of North America, to go beyond the boards and explore how out-of-home ('OOH' and 'DOOH') is making an undeniable impact on today's media mix. David and Jaime bring decades of experience in the industry, having worked together for 20 years in the industry before bringing their considerable chops to billups, Ben and Heather Billups' eponymous agency -- a name that works pretty darn well for working with billboards!  The company itself is only a couple of decades old but already claims nine patents that solve for the challenges of measurement and capturing data-driven insights in OOH. Probably good reasons it also claimed a spot on the 2024 list of fastest-growing companies among the Inc.5000 of companies "building the future." From their strategic approach to planning and measurement to their creative applications of technology like anamorphic (think: 3D) and AI-powered  optimization, David and Jaime share insights on why OOH is more "in" and relevant than ever -- and how they are making the most of being the largest independent agency in the space. Anamorphic DOOH "Out-of-home is sometimes the first to get cut from a media plan, but it shouldn't be. We're proving that it's measurable, it drives sales, and it deserves a seat at the table." -- Jaime Byrdak It's about staying nimble even with international scale, offering up considerable expertise as "consigliere" for media planners and buyers, and growing relationships both inside with coworkers and outside with customers. "Anybody can buy a billboard. The question is, are you buying the right one in the right place at the right time for the right reasons against the right audience?" -- David Krupp To that point, hear about their leadership philosophies, personal stories (including Jaime's time as a White Sox ball girl!), and what's next for the future of OOH. Top Takeaways: OOH is More Than Awareness – While traditionally seen as just a brand awareness tool, out-of-home can now drive sales, foot traffic, and digital engagement thanks to improved data and measurement techniques. Technology is Changing the Game – Innovations like AI-powered planning tools, real-time ad serving, and 3D anamorphic creative are pushing OOH into new territory. Measurement is Critical – Billups has developed patented measurement methodologies to prove ROI, showing how OOH contributes to everything from app downloads to in-store visits. The Power of Independence – As the largest independent out-of-home agency, Billups leverages its flexibility to provide unbiased, data-driven media recommendations. Leadership & Mentorship Matter – Both David and Jaime emphasize the importance of team culture, professional development, and fostering the next generation of OOH experts.

211: Angela Cretu is the former Global CEO of Avon. She is now an active Board Member, Beauty Industry Advisor, and Angel Investor. Angela took over as CEO just before the pandemic but had worked for Avon for 25 years starting her career in Romania. Growing up in a communist country meant that life was quite predictable, equality was standardised and the right to self expression was non existent. This set of experiences helped shape the leader that Angela was to become. Avon as a company was founded in 1886 and the business model from the very beginning was for women to share the products within their own micro communities (direct selling) which in turn would share wealth creation amongst many. The products and the model for selling were both breakthrough at the time and all focused on empowering women. It grew it's relevance over the years especially with it's in-house R&D capabilities however in the 2000's it started to lag behind its competitors by not keeping the pace with the market to follow and understand the behaviours and purchasing insights of women around the world. Avon's strong legacy was actually a burden, hampering its ability to be agile in a fast changing world. At one point Avon had approximately 6.5 million representatives with over 20,000 employees and revenues in the multiple billions. It was the ultimate social selling machine. This all changed during the pandemic and cost cutting was at the heart of the race to survive. Avon changed three CEO's over 12 years as the strategic dilemma was to decide if Avon was a brand or a channel and a number of mistakes were made as different executives tried to find the answer. Angela was always of the view that their millions of women sellers were brand equity creators and they needed to be empowered and leveraged across the world. When Angela took over, Avon was tipping on the edge of its own demise, until Natura decided to acquire Avon. Angela did not even apply for the role of CEO in 2019 and she was surprised to be summoned to Sao Paulo, the HQ of Natura and invited to apply, to which she initially said no. Natura knew that they needed someone with significant insight and experience of the business to drive the transformation that was necessary in order to survive and thrive. Once Angela knew she would have a real mandate for change from the board, she agreed to take the role. What was required was an end to end change, modernisation and overhaul of Avon. The essence of Avon was still the high touch and personal service that came from the millions of Avon sellers across the world and the strong purpose and movement that had been built since 1886. Aspirational beauty at irresistible value was the answer. During Angela's tenure as CEO, one of the main focus areas was her ability to change the history of Avon by tackling the biggest taboo, which was the direct selling methodology. She changed the question from what are we to why are we? She truly believed the world is a better place with Avon in it. As the debate raged as to whether Avon was a brand or a channel she decided that Avon was both, especially in the age of an omnichannel world. Avon today is located in 2,000 stores and has leveraged a number of strategic partnerships and digital nomad sellers utilising the power of social media. Angela stripped out the complexity of the business and dismantled the hard wiring beliefs before she instilled new values. Looking back Angela is able to reflect on the hard work that was necessary to transform Avon but during the events themselves she agrees that crisis was her daily dish on the leadership menu. Angela has 5 key reflections as a CEO: 1. A new type of leadership is required in todays world to become a force for good. 2. Moving from peer to leader - managing the weight of expectation 3. Being a multiplier not a pleaser - creating connections to allow others to act with purpose and autonomy. She also talks about the importance of being able to tell others who she is as a leader. 4. Unity amongst division - the devil of choosing a direction and managing the paradox without ignoring the nuances of both sides. 5. Redefining imposter syndrome - Angela feels the word imposter is a negative word and this more about leveraging your self doubt to learn. www.linkedin.com/in/angela-cretu/

Dogstrustusa.org Saving Dogs and Fighting Rabies with Dogs Trust USA's Owen Sharp About the Guest(s): Owen Sharp is the Director and President of Dogs Trust USA, appointed in July 2019. With a rich history in leadership roles within the non-profit and healthcare sectors, Sharp previously served as the Global CEO and Executive Director of the Movember Foundation in Culver City, California, and has had an impactful tenure as the CEO of Prostate Cancer UK. A trained nurse from Glasgow, Scotland, Owen is also honored with a doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University. His passion for animal welfare, particularly dogs, is matched by his personal commitment to animal rescue and advocacy. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages with Owen Sharp, President of Dogs Trust USA, for an insightful discussion about the critical issues facing dog welfare today. Sharp, with his extensive background in leadership and dog welfare, sheds light on the staggering challenges animal shelters face, from overpopulation and economic pressures to the rising abandonment rates following the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation traverses the importance of education and responsible dog ownership as a means to alleviate these issues. Sharp discusses the ambitious goals set by Dogs Trust USA to tackle poorly managed dog populations, improve physical welfare, and address the deaths caused by rabies internationally. Emphasizing the necessity for affordable spay and neuter programs and veterinary care, he urges for a committed community effort to support shelters in the US. By understanding the intricacies of training and matching the right dog to the owner, as well as creating awareness around rabies prevention, these measures promise to enhance dog welfare significantly and save countless lives. Key Takeaways: Dogs Trust USA focuses on the crucial areas of population management, low-cost veterinary care, and rabies prevention to improve dog welfare globally. COVID-19 has significantly increased dog abandonment rates, as many people adopted pets during lockdowns without fully understanding the responsibilities, leading to crowded shelters. Achieving responsible pet ownership starts with selecting the right dog for one's lifestyle and ensuring proper training and socialization. Rabies is a major global health problem, with one person dying from it approximately every 8-9 minutes worldwide. Dogs Trust strives for the total elimination of canine-mediated rabies.
