Not a coordination role - a leadership role with real authority. Most transformation plans are built the wrong way around. A top-down ambition gets handed off to a program manager, who cycles it through alignment rounds with different stakeholders, collecting bottom-up input along the way. The result is rarely a coherent end-to-end plan, which later becomes a major source of errors and yield loss. Every transformation needs a Mastermind. Once scope is set, appoint the transformation mastermind who plans, owns and runs the transformation end-to-end. This can be one person or a tight group of two to three, serving as Program Director. Their responsibilities are concrete: plan the transformation, assemble and orchestrate the core team, manage resources, give feedback, and make binding decisions they are accountable for. The right candidate is senior, hands-on, analytical, and culturally fluent. Done well, the role concentrates knowledge, organizes the team, and accelerates the program by reducing alignment overhead.
