Podcast: Creating a customer-centric company

Want to transform into an innovative, adaptable organisation? Start with a relentless focus on solving customer problems.

Blockbusters; Nokia; Toys R Us – history is littered with examples of organisations too slow to adapt to change. Large enterprises are fully aware of the burning platform to become more nimble – in fact 82% of global enterprises have embarked on a strategic re-design in the past 3 years (McKinsey, Jan 2018). However the focus is typically internal – on systems, processes, ways of working and organisational design, rather than measurable outcomes.                  

Catch up as Kim Atherton, Co-founder & CEO of Just3Things, leads a candid conversation with thought leaders from Worldpay and The Guardian, as well as renowned business advisor and author Barry O’Reilly, on why starting with customer outcomes is essential if your transformation is going to succeed, and your organisation survive.
