Nick Jankel, CEO of Switch On who delivers transformational leadership & transformations innovation programs—as well as books, coaching & peer-coaching toolkits—that draw on his “Cell to System" curriculum joined me to deconstruct a fictive case in the Innovation Culture Coding live show.

A multinational engineering company is facing the situation of more agile, purposeful, and interesting competitors eating into every product line and vertical. The shareholders enjoy dividends but don’t enjoy the PR of holding stock - perceived underperformance and ESG issues. Employees are struggling, pushing, demanding. The company culture is very “technical” and hierarchy driven

The CEO reaches out to Nick for help.
