The Power of Adaptability in Tough Times

The pace of change as we head into 2021 is unprecedented, accelerated by recent events that will undoubtedly increase and force us all to adapt.

Innovation, entrepreneurialism, global competitive forces, shifting employment models, ideologies and cultural diversity have led to the demise of jobs and industries, while opening opportunities for those with creative vision and adaptability.

Gus will delve into the mindset required to chase an ever-changing customer and the greater challenge we are currently facing of forced adaptation. We will discuss challenges faced by small businesses, startups all the way to large corporates and how innovation can be decoded into a few simple practical steps. His stories will help you gain insight into how minds can be future-proof and how to ensure you are ready to take on opportunities ahead with confidence.
