Welcome to Episode 108!

Welcome to Episode 108 today’s episode is all about Human Intelligence and
how important it is for business owners to Thrive in today's ever changing world
of technology. Perhaps no word is more important for today’s leaders as agility. The ever-increasing pace of change, demands that leaders be ready, willing, and able to quickly adapt and change course. As the saying goes, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
But how can we develop the ability to rapidly process information and change course in environments that too frequently constrain us? We face the certainty of
uncertainty. Creativity and innovation are vital for businesses exposed to globalisation, increased competition, consumer diversity and rapidly changing technology. Tomorrow’s competitive success will be based on the implementation of
creative ideas and the ability to keep up with an ever-accelerating world.
