Increasingly, I'm seeing that traditional organisational structures are under scrutiny because they're just too slow. But that's not always the case, and today's guest is going to prove it.

In this episode we dig into the experience of Michelle Booth, [these days] head of growth, activation, and innovation at Lloyds Bank. Michelle has thrived as an entrepreneur in businesses that many would think are rigid and very hierarchical. If that's you, be prepared to change your view.

Drawing from real life experience, including her transformative role at one of the UK's best known high street banks (NatWest), Michelle joins the Unicorny project to talk transformation.
