Kylie Balan, Chief Strategy Officer at Isuzu Australia

How do organisations protect the business that's delivering results today while creating the capacity to build what comes next?

In this presentation from the Chief Strategy Officer Conference in Sydney, Kylie Balan explores one of the most persistent challenges facing strategy leaders: balancing the demands of business as usual with the need for long-term transformation.

Drawing on her experience at Isuzu Australia and Toyota Financial Services, Kylie examines why the existing business so often takes priority, how organisations unintentionally overwhelm themselves with competing initiatives, and why transformation requires more than simply adding new priorities.

She introduces three practical leadership disciplines, Protect, Prune and Create, to help organisations make deliberate trade-offs, free up capacity and invest in their future without compromising what makes them successful today.
