Speaking
My keynote speaches are on digital disruption, innovation, customer obession, supply chain and creating a culture of operational excellence and innovation. I also speak on the Internet of Things and how technology is transforming society. Many of the keynote speeches and leadership team and board facilitations are done in confidence. My goal is to give tools and techniques used immediately, which help drive innovation and a customer obsessed culture.
