Game changers

We’ve all claimed to have caught 40 winks under the desk during the all-nighter before that oh-so-terribly important deadline, right? But would you ever want
to, say, wake up in the morning, wander into the kitchen in your pyjamas, growl a good morning to your colleague who’d got there before you, before dishing up the first cup of coffee and both settling down to a few high-priority emails before hitting the shower? The reason I ask is that I was recently at an event that alerted me to the trend of ‘co-living’.

We discuss this idea of close collaboration, as well as how to understand and articulate high value, how not to choose a great successor, tips and tricks when managing transformation, and more.
