The conversation focuses on digitising staff, leading digital transformation beyond tools and buzzwords, and the practical realities of starting and scaling a company. We discuss how organisations enable people through technology, where digital initiatives fail, and what founders often underestimate when building from the ground up.
This episode is for founders, operators, and leaders navigating transformation while trying to build in banks and fintechs that last.
In this episode of The Human Orbit, we sit down with Ned Philips, founder of Sales Movement, for an honest conversation on sales, company building, and the realities founders navigate beyond the work.
