The world we’ll be faced with tomorrow demands big ideas today. In Jacobs’ series of interviews with some of today’s leading industry and academic problem solvers, we discuss the Ifs and Whens of disruption - those phenomena with the potential to unsettle the status quo, as well as those now imminent and emerging.

&lt;p&gt;Leaders of global, multi-sector companies are tackling bigger, more complex challenges in our fast-evolving, highly connected world. During times of greater change and shifts, employees are looking to the C-Suite for even more direction and inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research by Harvard Business Review reveals that for leaders to be successful now, they need to be versatile, resilient and empathetic to thrive in the relentless pace of global corporate organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For this If/When podcast, we speak to two inspiring CEOs who embody these qualities and offer some of their experiences as leaders and collaborators. We explore the importance of key partnerships,* shared values, employee engagement and family support and learn how it&#039;s all helped shape them in their pivotal roles.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My name is Arthur Jones, and the guests for this episode are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jacobs.com/newsroom/press-release/bob-pragada-appointed-chair-jacobs-board-directors-louis-pinkham-named-lead&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bob Pragada&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, CEO of Jacobs since January of 2023 and appointed Chair of Jacobs Board of Directors the following September and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.paconsulting.com/newsroom/christian-norris-announced-as-ceo-of-pa-consulting-29-august-2023&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christian Norris&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, who became CEO at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.paconsulting.com/about&quot;&gt;PA Consulting&lt;/a&gt;, a global innovation and transformation consultancy, in August 2023. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Jacobs holds a 65% stake in PA Consulting, with the remaining 35% held by PA employees.
