Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Simon Hill, CEO & Co-founder of Wazoku – a tech company that helps businesses unlock the nascent innovation potential of their employees, partners, customers the world over.
In this conversation, we explore how organisational culture, business and innovation can remake the way in which we work and live, and learn about the extraordinary ways in which we can discover powerful solutions to complex problems.
