It has never been harder to stand out. In B2B, B2C, even in job markets, it's getting harder and harder to differentiate, compete and win. There are many reasons for this: digitisation has flooded the market with content and competition; commoditisation is driving prices and margins down, and making it harder to sustainably compete; rising complexity is making it harder for companies to articulate clear, relevant value propositions; and customer loyalty is 'so 20th century'.

In this changing world, we can't compete on features, service or price... we have to matter.

In this provocative and dynamic presentation, Dominic will:
- Unpack the major disruptive forces that are redefining the way business is being done, and value is being created
- Use inspiring, real-word case studies to show how a diverse array of companies are responding effectively
- Show how we can make our products, our services and our brands matter to our customers and staff
- Give you the formula for effectively dealing with and thriving in times of disruption and change

- demonstrate the clear links between building trust and confidence and driving performance
- unpack simple strategies for understanding trust in the context of your business, and building it with customers and staff
- share stories and examples of unique approaches to driving trust
