Technology Labs podcast: Strategic Leadership (with Ron Meyer)
Ron Meyer is managing director of the Center for Strategy & Leadership, an international consulting and management development organization, dedicated to improving companies’ competences in the areas of strategic thinking, leadership, entrepreneurship, business innovation and change management. We connected a tech outlook with making strategic business choices. In this podcast we find out that the answer to a good strategic tech outlook is probably that there is no answer. A reassuring thought for some maybe. Ron explains strategic choices if your company should “marry” or should be the “bachelor”. How this holds for a clothing company compared to a car manufacturer is what you will find out in the 18th episode of the Technology Labs podcast.
