“The feedback was hugely positive. In fact, everyone kept referring back to points Christine Crandell made for the rest of the meeting, and when we adjourned for cocktails the main discussion was around her list of things companies do to erode trust.”

New Business Strategies’ audience usually falls into one of four groups: Executive leaders who are looking to disrupt their markets, functional leaders and teams who are embarking on aligning to customer expectations, C-Suites who are seeking to understand the concepts B2B customer experience, and leaders who are kicking off business planning and want their teams to understand how to prepare for the future.
