Taking this approach she successfully turned around the core business and created new runways for growth through new product lines.
With this talk, Sarah explains how the business environment has changed—with barriers to entry being lower than ever—and how businesses must can adapt in order to play at the edge of their potential. She explains why changing the game means playing by your own rules, why it’s so important to lean into to your organizations unique history and capabilities, and how despite seeming counter-intuitive, ignoring the competition and conventional wisdom actually breeds success.
