In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Russell Weiner, the chief executive officer at Domino’s Pizza, at the company’s headquarters in Ann Arbor, Mich. Russell shares the strategies that have driven Domino’s to become a dominant global leader in pizza, and he reflects on his 17 years with the company, which included what could be the most remarkable brand transformation in retail history. Sam also talks with Russell about how brand perception can affect product quality, why you have to rethink the KPIs you’re using to measure success, and how a disciplined decision making process can ensure consistent innovation.
