This is Jacqui Canney’s challenge at WPP, where she serves as the Global Chief People Officer. As Jacqui notes: 1 in every 3 ads placed comes from WPP. Their influence on society, and their responsibility to reflect diverse points of view, is massive.

• How Jacqui has approached her new role at WPP
• What happened the first 2 months she was Chief People Officer at Walmart
• Strategies for building a new company culture
• Encouraging your teams to embrace change
