Business transformation isn’t for the faint of heart. Behind every ambitious initiative — whether it’s a company-wide overhaul, a pivotal shift in direction, or a high-stakes decision with long-term consequences — there’s a battle to turn strategy into reality. The pressure is high, the risks are real, and the path forward isn’t always clear.
Each episode of Frontline Insights is a lively, straight-talking conversation about what it really takes to get things done. We break down the realities of transformation — the wins, the missteps, the moments of doubt, and the lessons learned — through conversations with people who’ve led from the inside, navigating tension, tradeoffs, and uncertainty as it unfolded.
The series explores how to move big work forward through the messy middle — when pressure’s up, timelines are tight, and alignment doesn’t come easy. It surfaces the human dynamics behind business complexity, and shows what progress actually looks like when it’s earned, not assumed.
Whether you’re leading the charge or just trying to survive the chaos, Frontline Insights delivers real talk, expert takes, and stories from the field to help you navigate business transformation with clarity and confidence.

When tension builds on a project, silence can feel safer than speaking up — but staying quiet doesn’t make the problems go away. In this episode, John Prichard shares how to spot the early signs of misalignment, why the loudest voices aren’t always the most important, and how curiosity can defuse conflict before it explodes. From small friction points to full-blown breakdowns, we explore what it looks like to lead through disagreement with clarity, structure, and respect.
Whether you're navigating stakeholder conflict or trying to keep a team aligned under pressure, this episode offers practical tools to manage disagreement without losing momentum.
