Can A Global Tech Company Be 6 Star? With Dave Blanchard & James Burkitt - #9

This episode is a gem mined from the history lessons of commercial growth, evolution and commercial success. Dave and James took us on a journey that left us all wanting more. We discussed what a 6-star business truly means in our evolving society and how competition needs to make way for greater needs coming from a community perspective, that"s woven by purpose and care.  In this engaging and informative conversation we cover many topics: 10:10 Why the world needs 6 star businesses 12:39 Businesses exist for the good of the people and community, not the business 13:55 The inside experience of a global tech 6 star business 16:40 The outside customer experience of the global tech 6 star business 20:40 Do businesses exist for the benefit of shareholders? or the community? 28:00 Is business a competition? or a journey? 34:30 The direction of our new economy Plus, we learnt first hand what it was like to work for a global 6-star tech business, AND we learnt first hand what it was like to be served as a customer by the same global 6-star tech business. Brilliant, interesting, and thought provoking. Enjoy!
