Influence is a critical capability in operational roles. Whether you’re leading a project, shaping strategy or working across complex stakeholder environments, the ability to bring others with you often determines whether great ideas translate into real outcomes.
For this Career Club session, NAWO is pleased to welcome Mudiwa Chipungu, Head of Strategy, Projects & Supplier Partnerships at Coles, for a practical conversation on influencing colleagues to achieve shared goals and deliver team wins.
With more than 23 years’ experience across retail, FMCG, telecommunications, consulting and large‑scale operations, Mudiwa has led enterprise‑wide transformation by integrating strategy, people, process and technology. She is known for translating complex challenges into clear strategic direction and building alignment across senior stakeholders to deliver sustainable results.
In conversation with NAWO Member Engagement Director Fiona Evans, Mudiwa will explore:
- What influence really looks like in complex operational environments
- How to build alignment when priorities, incentives or perspectives differ
- Influencing without formal authority across functions and teams
- Creating momentum and shared ownership for delivery
- Practical approaches for influencing up, across and within teams
This session is designed for anyone working in operations who wants to strengthen their ability to shape outcomes, work effectively across organisational boundaries, and contribute to collective success.
