Power Skills: The Human Element of Data Transformation

Is your digital strategy missing its most powerful component, people?

This week’s guest is Roseanne Werner, CEO of XcelerateIQ, who brings a bold yet human approach to digital and data transformation. With experience that spans accounting, strategy, and award-winning innovation at Coca-Cola, Roseanne argues that successful change is not about the latest tech, it’s about cultural shift.

She explores how “power skills” like empathy, storytelling, and community building are the true drivers of progress. By centring transformation on people, not platforms, Roseanne shares a blueprint for data adoption that actually sticks.

This episode is a wake-up call for leaders and technologists alike: transformation doesn’t start with systems. It starts with people.
