Transformation. It's something that almost every client we speak to at the moment is talking about.  In our most recent data, 52% of clients say that they're either already making a significant investment in digital transformation or planning to do so in the next 18 months, and 41% say they'll be investing in target operating model transformation. But is something missing from this conversation? If transformation were just a matter of implementing new systems, models, or processes, it might be laborious, but not necessarily all that challenging. But of course, it's so much more than that.   Joining Ed Scott to talk about the role of people in making transformation happen are Alex Bombeck, CEO of consulting firm North Highland, and Fiona Czerniawska, CEO and founder of Source.

This week, I was joined by Mike Kuenne, owner and principal of Kuenne Advisory LLC. We discussed the complex reality of setting expectations in the hospitality industry. One guests' memory-building experience is another's one-star review, and the absolute norm in one region is a completely foreign experience in another. A misalignment in expectations can ruin an otherwise good or even great experience. And hospitality has the huge responsibility of understanding the differences between these guest profiles and, not only accommodating them differently but finding opportunities to set expectations ahead of time so they're not caught by surprise. Without further ado, enjoy the episode!

Today's guest is Charles Vivian, Managing Director and Portfolio Group Lead at North Highland. Charles leads North Highland's UK and north eastern US practices, a $100 million dollar consulting business. While you might be expecting the typical consulting career journey, Charles has had the complete opposite and has a hugely varied career that has spanned working for a global consultancy, founding his own start up, working for a boutique consulting firm and then working his way up to where he is now. Outside of work Charles has undertaken some phenomenal adventures including climbing Mont Blanc and running the Marathon De Sables, the world's toughest foot race. In fact the reason that there was a slight delay on releasing this episode was that Charles was flying out the day after our interview to trek across the Artic! Charles's approach to growing a business, growing your career and enjoying your life were fascinating and no matter where you are on your journey there'll be something in here for you. We cover so many interesting topics in this conversation including: Charles' start up journey, what he learnt from failing and his advice to other thinking of going out on their own. The importance of culture when it comes to building a consulting firm and how North Highland have created a culture that is open and supportive while welcoming challenge from all levels of the firm. The differences and similarities when it comes to working across the UK and the US and the importance of understanding the culture of the region you're working in when it comes to building a Consulting business. How Charles fits adventures like his trip to the artic in to his schedule and his advice for others looking to balance work with doing more of the things they enjoy outside it. I really enjoyed this conversation with Charles. His unique perspective having worked across such a diverse range of businesses gave some fantastic insights and I know you'll get a lot from this conversation.

This is Vanderbilt Business, a podcast about the students, faculty, and staff at Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management. For first-year students looking to change job functions, mastering the personal story is critical -- finding the parallel between past experiences and future job requirements is essential to convincing employers you're right for the job.

Our Career Insider series continues this week with a look at Consulting, a field that attracts a lot of career-switchers. We talked with two aspiring consultants that have rather unique backgrounds -- Bennet Hayes, who is interning at Boston Consulting Group, also known as BCG, and Andrew Glover, who is interning with North Highland. Emily Anderson and Courtney Fein of the Career Management Center conducted the interviews.
