Why the boring parts of digital transformation matter with the Royal College of Anaesthetists

from Leaders with Purpose · host manifesto

In this mini episode of Leaders With Purpose, Rebecca Hull and Lou Lai revisit their conversation with Dr David Hunt, Director of Digital, Data and Technology at the Royal College of Anaesthetists, to dive into the foundations of digital transformation - the parts that don’t always make the headlines, but make all the difference. David shares how to keep large-scale transformation projects on track: setting clear milestones, creating strong governance, and bringing people with you through every stage of change.  It’s a practical, honest look at what it really takes to make transformation work inside complex organisations. We talk about: - What digital transformation really means for purpose-led organisations - How governance and sign-off structures keep projects steady and fair - Managing resistance and building trust through communication - The vital role of project managers in keeping change moving - Why listening, empathy, and clarity matter more than any framework This episode is a companion to “Dr David Hunt on leading digital transformation at the Royal College of Anaesthetists”, where David shares his broader leadership journey and lessons from leading change with purpose, so go check that out for a deeper dig into the topic. Join the conversation and discover why the most unglamorous parts of digital transformation are often the ones that make lasting impact.  Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel and share it with someone steering change in their organisation - they’ll thank you for it!
