Questions to consider for your business

Workplace culture

  • Maintaining connections is one of the biggest challenges for leaders. When and why do you bring your people together physically and how can you best use this time?
  • The rapid pace of change can spark fear, but also excitement. How can you encourage on-the-job training and reskilling as a pathway to new opportunities?
  • Aa a leader, sharing your losses can create a safe space for employee conversations. Are you adapting to new, mindful ways of communicating with your people? 

Consumer pace

  • Organisations have access to infinite consumer data. What data is available to you? Are you using it to identify issues and predict trends? How can you prioritise speed to action?
  • Do you use real time feedback and ongoing listening in your customer journey to help identify backlogs and systemic issues. How are you measuring successful customer experience?
  • Both values alignment and frictionless interaction shape consumer trust. Are your interactions seamless? Do you understand the values of your customer?

Technology

  • Emerging technologies like autonomous robots seem like science fiction, but are you aware of the types of technology available to both large and small businesses, today?
  • Businesses are introducing 360-degrees product images on their websites. Are you considering the ways you can use readily accessible technology to bring the in-store experience online?
  • Looking at trends in your industry can spark ideas or sometimes, concerns. Are you aware of the security aspects of any app or technology you are using? Has it come from a reliable developer?
