Ep1 - Driving Innovation; Costa Coffee, The Very Group, NWG and Suffolk County Council

This week’s episode focuses on innovation, not just for the sake of trying new things out, but innovation for the sake of survival. Consumer attitudes are changing at an accelerated pace. Access to information, insights and opinions has never been so easy or quick. Social platforms can amplify a voice with just a few clicks. The need to maintain relevance in a crowded digital world has never been more important.
