Rezilien’s Live Debate: What breaks change first: human behaviour or organisational complexity?

<p>In the second episode of the Rezilien × Favourite Positions live debate series, Lily Kyriacou and Alex Young bring together leaders working across operations, digital engineering and transformation to explore a question that sits at the heart of modern execution:</p><p><strong>What breaks change first: human behaviour or organisational complexity?</strong></p><p>As organisations operate in what Lily describes as a state of rolling turbulence, where technological shifts, new operating models, changing investor expectations and restructures are all happening at once, strategies can look strong on paper while outcomes still fall short. So what is actually breaking in the process, and why?</p><p>This live debate explores the tension between change fatigue, uncertainty and resistance on one side, and organisational complexity, structures, incentives and layers on the other. </p><p>The conversation asks whether change breaks because people do, or whether organisations are still creating conditions that make successful change harder than it needs to be.</p><p>Joined by Matt Deadman, Chloe Holt and Ella Blakstad, Lily and Alex unpack how culture, leadership behaviour, communication, accountability and clarity all shape whether change lands well or begins to wobble. The discussion also explores what AI is exposing in organisations, why ambiguity is becoming the norm for leaders and how value creation at work is beginning to shift.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guests</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-deadman/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Matt Deadman</a> - COO EMEA at Naviam</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloebarrett/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Chloe Holt</a> - Chief Client Officer at Godel Technologies Europe</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorblakstad/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ella Blakstad</a> - Senior Manager at Accenture</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Hosts</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilykyriacou/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Lily Kyriacou⁠</a> - Founder of Rezilien</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-young-74431a135/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Alex Young⁠</a> - Host of Favourite Positions</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the series</strong></p><p>The Rezilien × Favourite Positions live debate series brings together credible leaders and specialists to explore what it really takes for p
