Digital HR Leaders with David Green2 Sep 2025

How bp is Writing the Next Chapter. Discussing Transformation & Technology (with Kerry Dryburgh)

bp is undergoing one of the most complex transformations in its more than 100-year history — powered by a focused strategy reset, a leaner operating model, and a global scale-up of digital and AI capabilities. But behind all of this is a fundamental reset of how people experience work - and what it means to lead through change.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green sits down with the person leading this transformation, Kerry Dryburgh, Executive Vice President for People, Culture and Communications at bp.

In their conversation, you’ll learn:

How bp is using AI and automation to simplify work and unlock capacity

Why performance culture is being redefined to balance accountability and development

What skills and mindsets are essential for the future of work

How to keep people engaged and supported through uncertainty and change

And why HR has a critical role to play in shaping transformation

If you’re leading transformation, scaling HR innovation, or simply curious about what the future of HR looks like at enterprise scale, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
