In this episode we talk with Mancunian legend Kanika Selvan, the founder of Beetroot Consulting. Kanika shares her extensive experience in change management, as we talk through five different topics:

What is the overlap between Product and Change specialisms and how can both be used to improve businesses?
How important is leadership culture, and what is the balance between grassroots-up and leadership-down change?
Do leaders need to be authentic, humble and curious?
Is there any point in doing EDI / DEI if you don't believe in it?
Can you buy culture change?

Throughout the discussion, Kanika provides valuable insights into merging product methodologies with traditional change management approaches, advocating for tailored solutions over rigid frameworks. The episode also touches on the evolving landscape of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace, urging organisations to truly integrate EDI principles into their change strategies for meaningful and sustainable progress.
