Events DAM Europe 2026 Day 1 Track 1 The Challenge of Change in the Age of AI - Doing the New Things Right

Facts:

  • Digital transformations rarely fail because of the technology.
  • When digital transformations stall it’s usually because organisations have failed to do enough to prepare their people for change.

Change:

What it really takes to implement change in environments shaped by DAM, AI and cross-functional complexity.

A candid conversation:

Matt Westrup, Chief Technology Officer, Hearst Networks EMEA and Matt Eaton, Co-Founder, Nepholve Limited, draw lessons from their experience of operational change:

  • How to prepare the ground for change.
  • How to build trust.
  • How to secure buy-in from leadership and the board.
  • How to keep people engaged despite the ambiguity and disruption change brings.
  • Why resistance is often a rational human response to challenges to status, certainty, belonging and fairness, and what leaders should do about it.
