Everyone is facing the same challenges in their own way.And there are so many solutions, practices, and frameworks available that it can be hard to know what to adopt.While the problems facing businesses aren't unique, there is a golden rule to consider - If you adopt everyone else's best practices, you will be an average business. The way Spotify solve their problems is not always going to work for a bank, so you should find what works for youTo successfully change you need to start testing different models, which is where prototyping is valuable.And rapid prototyping is even better But most important is to ensure you give you customers the tools they need.In this episode I talk to Justin Gregory about the challenges of digital transformation in an international context.About JustinJustin has over a decade in leadership positions with one of the foremost banks in South Africa.

November 2016 sees the arrival of an American warship in a New Zealand port; the first for more than thirty years. The visit is stirring up memories of a time when New Zealand's harbours were battle zones and peace activists faced off against nuclear warships. US Navy ships and submarines were frequent visitors here in the 70s and early 80s as part of our commitment to the ANZUS treaty with America and Australia. But as fear of the nuclear threat grew, these visits became scenes of protest and some took to the water to show their opposition. The Peace Squadron, as they were known, were a loose flotilla of motorboats, canoes, surfboards and sailboats and people who were prepared to put their bodies in the way of warships. The protests were organised by Anglican priest George Armstrong who tells Eyewitness producer Justin Gregory that he got the call to act while watching American TV.
