With huge volatility in recent years, it’s easy to be lured into a false sense of security that you have no change left to do or that you’re fully prepared for it. But the reality is that evolution requires continual change. And also, the external environment is prompting more challenges and promoting more change too. Join Oliver Banks as he reflects on 3 topics from the upcoming Retail Week Live event, all focused around radical change.

So listen to this podcast episode to discover:

  • Why radical change is such an important topic right now.
  • And why radical change may not be as radical as you fear it is!
  • Also, the 4 ways that you can develop your team and their capability to take on transformation successfully.
