Corporate Governance EP7: Due Dilligence

The beauty industry has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past few years. Shopping for cosmetics and skincare once meant visiting department stores, testing products on your wrist, and hoping they'd work at home. Now, consumers browse thousands of products from their phones, read reviews from strangers worldwide, and make purchases without ever stepping into a store. This shift isn't temporary. Digital cosmetics sales have become the primary battleground where beauty brands compete for attention, loyalty, and market share.

Eva Christodoulou, Head of Solutions and Services at Leaderonomics, shares what it takes to achieve employee engagement in the workplace and what employees can do to ensure that they remain engaged.

Why are so many companies investing heavily in AI, yet still struggling to see real productivity gains? Roshan Thiran explores the powerful metaphor of Jesus Christ “new wine in old wineskins” and applies it to one of the biggest business challenges of our time: AI transformation. AI is the new wine. It is powerful, fast, expanding, and full of potential. But many organisations are still trying to pour it into old wineskins: outdated business models, rigid structures, broken workflows, slow approval systems, legacy KPIs, and cultures built for control rather than learning. That is why AI adoption alone does not guarantee transformation. The real question is not, “Do we have AI tools?” The real question is, “Have we redesigned the organisation to hold the power of AI?” In this video, Roshan unpacks why the AI productivity paradox exists and how leaders can rethink four critical organisational wineskins: 1. Business Model: Are we using AI to create new value or just reduce cost? 2. Structure: Are we organised around silos or outcomes? 3. Processes: Are we automating broken workflows or redesigning work end-to-end? 4. Culture: Are we rewarding experimentation, trust, learning, and voice, or still rewarding busyness and control? The message is simple: AI is not exposing a technology gap. It is exposing an organisational design gap. The new wine is already here. Now leaders must build the wineskins that can hold it.
