About Tania Hodgkinson

CURRENT MANDATE: GOVERNANCE UNDER ACCELERATIONI advise Boards and CEOs on the "Execution Gap" created by AI and high-velocity markets.While most organizations focus on the "Technology Gap"(models, data, infrastructure), I focus on the structural risks that emerge when speed increases: Decisions that don't hold, alignment that fractures, and responsibility that gets compressed.I facilitate restricted working sessions for Senior Leadership to identify the stabilizing moves required to secure execution reliability before accelerating further. My work isolates the "Non-Delegable Core"—the specific risks that cannot be pushed down to management.OPERATIONAL ANCHORMy advisory work is grounded in current operational reality.As Head of Transformation for Sophus3 (a leading data intelligence partner to 25+ global automotive OEMs), I manage the collision of digital acceleration and execution daily. I don’t just study "Consequence" and "Complexity" in theory; I navigate them on the ground, in Automotive, Finance, Energy, Transport & other industries.THE BROADER PRACTICE: TRANSFORMATION & FUTURE READINESSBeyond the boardroom, I work as a Systemic Team Coach to help organizations metabolize pressure.I utilize a "Team of Teams" approach to solve Enterprise Fragmentation, connecting isolated silos into a cohesive execution network. My focus is Future Readiness: helping leadership systems move from reactive crisis management to anticipatory governance.My background blends Economic Strategy (MA) with Behavioural Science (MSc, Henley). This dual lens allows me to diagnose exactly why transformation fails: It is rarely the model; it is the human system’s inability to metabolize the speed of change.Clients typically bring me in when:• Strategy is clear, but execution is stalling due to fragmentation or saturation (Strategic Drag).• Decision latency is high; the team is revisiting settled topics rather than moving forward.• The "Human System" cannot keep pace with the "Technical System"(AI, Data, Digital).Credentials & Impact:• Head of Transformation (Sophus3): Leading execution in Automotive Digital.• MSc Economics (Finance & Corporate Strategies).• MSc Behavioural Change (Henley Business School).• Systemic Coaching: EMCC Senior Practitioner (Individual & Team).• Contributor to Exponential Organizations 2.0 (Salim Ismail & Peter Diamandis), Systemic Team of Teams Coaching (Peter Hawkins & Catherine Carr) and the German edition of Coach Werden (Jonathan Passmore & Tracy Sinclair).
