One village at a Time ebook

Transformation is everywhere - but real, lasting change is rare. In this honest, practical guide, Kristina Wright shares what it actually takes to drive transformation at scale - across borders, silos, resistance, and spreadsheets. No buzzwords. No blue-sky theory. Just hard-won insight from over 20 years inside global companies where the stakes were high and the pressure was relentless. From leading AI pilots to rebuilding entire operating models, from the C-suite boardroom to frontline factory floors, this book reveals: Why culture kills good tech - and how to build it properly What makes an operating model truly scalable - and what quietly erodes it Why people burn out - programs stall and change gets stuck What to measure - when to compromise and when to stand firm And why sometimes transformation only works when you take it one village at a time Kristina writes as someone who's lived it: the burnouts, the blow-ups, the rebuilds - and the breakthroughs. Whether you're leading a major change or trying to survive one, this book will give you the clarity, realism, and occasional dark humour you didn't know you needed.
