EPISODE:
As 2024 approaches, businesses must evaluate their stance on digital transformation and emerging tech. From real estate to music, blind spots are common in legacy industries, particularly amongst those that have enjoyed stable status quo operations and practices over decades. In this episode, seasoned executive Jeff King stresses the importance of agility and proactive strategy in an era where big tech disruptions are the norm and evolving consumer trends are difficult to keep pace with. King emphasizes the critical role of organizational culture in embracing change and identifying how transformative technologies like blockchain, web3, and AI might impact, reshape, or add value to their offerings in a fast-paced digital landscape.
