Keynote - Leadership through Change
Simon Post, CTO, Carphone Warehouse

Many of us lead change within organisations, it is a fundamental element of business today. Change is often initiated when organisations become less successful and market pressures force them to change. The Transformation of The Carphone Warehouse’s IT function is a very different story. The Carphone Warehouse is one of the rising starts of the FTSE 100 and has expanded organically and through acquisition internationally and into different industry sectors. The Transformation of the IT function had to continue to do and improve business as usual while simultaneously reconfiguring itself and re-engineering itself to create more flexibility, scalability, and innovate business led IT Systems. Simon Post shares with us how his team achieved this through a focus on 4 pillars, business, process, technology, and the key, people.
