S2 E4: How To Become a Successful Change Leader- with the “CIO of the Decade Impact Award” Winner Bernd Preuschoff
In this episode, I talk to Bernd Preuschoff, former IBM Partner, CDO and CEO at companies such as Schwan-Stabilo and Uvex and winner of the CIO of the Decade Award 2021 & 2022.
During his 20 year career in the digital field, Bernd built up the interactive experience practice at IBM, led major digital transformations and corporate venture-building projects at Schwan-Stabilo and Uvex, and was awarded multiple times digital leader, transformer, and CIO of the year.
Bernd is also a sought-out keynote speaker and the author of the German book “Als Gäbe es keine Schwerkraft: Business Leadership durch die Augen eines Tänzers''.
In this episode, we talk about :
- what the recent firing of prominent innovation leaders like Tina Müller, the Ex-CEO of Douglas, reveals about the state of digital transformation
- which 3 core principles any leader who wants to successfully transform and innovate has to master
- and what it takes to successfully cooperate with the young generation in digital innovation
