Ep 028: Embracing Boldness & Experimentation To Get Future-Ready
Regan and Jon Judah, SVP, Clients & Technology for the Americas at DEPT, dive into how boldness is a mindset (and not just a moment), and why it’s a strategic imperative for future-ready companies. They explore why good strategies are about seeing around corners before everyone else, and how challenging the non-negotiables requires a mix of empathy, shifting a company’s culture, embracing experimentation and reevaluating what’s being held as truly core to the brand.
