Dave Wright joins Sam and Vic to share his thoughts on how to drive innovation through teamwork. Hear Dave's fascinating career story that has landed him in such an exciting role.

Dave gives us a valuable insight into  why no idea is a bad idea because you never know the future and why asking 'why' is the most important question.

It wouldn't be an Get Amplified podcast if we didn't touch on the importance of trust  - We learn why Dave believes  the most beautiful culture is where you don't need to be 'brave' because everyone is safe to say what they think' and where cross functional teams can work without hierarchy.   

There is also an admission from Vic that perhaps she should have edited out ?

Paul Wiefels is the MD and Co-founder of the Chasm Group LLC and is master of Go-To-Market strategy for the Tech Industry. We caught up with him in the episode of Get Amplified to find out what tech companies should be focusing on in 2021.

Paul shares how there is such little difference between technology offerings from tech companies in the same category and how aligning and motivating the troops is the key to success. In a nutshell it is all about speed to market. This is a not to be missed episode.

“Tech is very mainstream now. We are no longer mystified by​ technology … Tech companies are always fighting in a time-based competition . . . Nowadays there’s not more than 10 cent worth of difference in tech in the same category. How you take things to market is just as important as what things you’re taking to market. How you’re organising your troops inside the company is even more important than it was previously.”

Further Info

Paul talks about the technology adoption lifecycle and describes ‘the chasm’ which is detailed in Geoffrey Moore’s well regarded book,  Crossing the Chasm.

Rebecca Fox joins the Get Amplified crew to talk about a topic we may have been guilty of shying away from at the Amplified Group. Not only does Rebecca share with us the importance of being authentic to build trust as a leader but how building a networkaround you by winning hearts and minds can propel you forward. 

We address how many of us turn down promotions due to imposter syndrome and tackle the difficult conversations of being a working mum.

This has encouraged us to explore this point further, how can we help others avoid having imposter syndrome, how can we instil confidence in other women out there that may struggle with this.

We have been working with two coaches from the Oxford school of drama to create a course ‘An inspirational course for women’ we are asking you for a thumbs up on whether this would be of interest.
