Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our series, ‘Ask the Business Coach’.
This is an excellent exercise to undertake with your leadership team, as it establishes the benchmark for the relevance of your business and outlines what you must do to sustain it.
Three key takeaways
- Design a disruptive, super competitor – what would they look like?
- Ask do they look like us?
- Identify the gap between the two.
