Workplace Geeks
From Experimentation to Expertise | Workplace Leaders 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Five workplace leaders. Five very different sectors. One surprisingly consistent message: the future belongs to organisations that never stop learning.
Sponsored by Rhino Interiors Group, this is the second episode in our special series celebrating the Workplace Leaders Top 50 2026, bringing together conversations with some of the people shaping workplaces across technology, banking, telecommunications, higher education and health & safety.
From Salesforce to Mastercard, VodafoneThree, the University of Salford and Sage, these conversations explore how leaders are adapting to a world where artificial intelligence, hybrid working and changing expectations are rewriting the rules faster than organisations can keep up.
Along the way, we get into:
- How AI is disrupting the traditional route to expertise
- Why experimentation is becoming a core leadership skill
- The challenge of developing people in a rapidly changing world
- How universities are rethinking the purpose of their estates
- The hidden impacts hybrid working continues to have on organisations
- Why curiosity, connection and continuous learning matter more than ever
- The advice today’s leaders would give the next generation
Featuring:
- Elaine Du Preez, Salesforce
- Catherine Murphy, Mastercard
- Scott Wilson, VodafoneThree
- Fiona Stewart, University of Salford
- Claire Goody, Sage
