Allianz Australia chief transformation officer Christopher Iwanowski is the first guest on a new podcast called A Human Element. 

The show – created by recruitment agency Talenza – explores the drivers of successful business change.  

The agency says 70% of transformations fail, and the podcast reveals “how to join the successful minority”, offering insights for executives, consultants and professionals.  

Mr Iwanowski shares his story of arriving in Sydney from Munich, and offers insights on “breaking down silos, building trust through transparency and leveraging global experience to drive change”. 

He also discusses the role of artificial intelligence, authenticity in leadership, coaching, mental wellbeing and “embracing change with humility and gratitude”.  

Mr Iwanowski says he has led “one of the most complex global transformation programs at Allianz Australia” in the past 18 months, and he had to “reset accountability, rebuild purpose, define clear milestones and help teams feel a sense of achievement again”.  

The podcast is for “anyone navigating complexity, leading through change or delivering outcomes in high-pressure environments”, he says.
