The Guardian is one of the world’s leading news organisations. It has successfully evolved from a national newspaper to a global provider of high-quality, impactful journalism in multiple formats, on multiple platforms, in multiple countries.
In this session we were joined by Keith Underwood, interim CEO of the Guardian Media Group and previously the COO/CFO at Channel 4. In a stimulating discussion, we covered the changing dynamics of the media and digital landscape; the capabilities required to define and deliver digital transformation; how he orchestrates - and participates in - ecosystems inside and outside his organisation; and the power of purpose in driving business engagement and performance.
