“We often create a list of 12 things, but if you focus on the one thing that makes the biggest difference, you’ll be more successful than having a big shopping list.”

ITV, Sky, Starbucks, Serco and Nestle may not share much in terms of sector, but all are huge brands that Jonathan Patrick has at one point called home.

His ability to instigate successful transformation at the highest level is beyond doubt, and as Transport for London’s CPO he’s continuing to create a staggering procurement legacy.

We hear from Jonathan on Talent Talks this week as he shares the measures of successful transformation, how to firm up against 2023’s impending pressures, and how his work on I’m a Celeb changed how he evaluates each business’ true challenges.

  • The barometers for success to keep top-of-mind
  • 2023’s big challenges, and how they’ll likely affect risk management
