He is also the host of the multi-award nominated Ever-So-Lean Podcast.
Businesses rarely decide to stop listening to their customers. More often, yesterday’s success makes it easy to assume that what worked before will keep working. In this keynote, Matt Sims explores what happens when organisations fail to modernise as customer expectations change. From once familiar brands that lost their place to businesses that kept adapting, he looks at the role curiosity, leadership and continuous improvement play in staying relevant. For eCommerce teams, the challenge reaches beyond technology. Matt will ask how well we really understand what customers need now, whether our people feel able to speak up when something is changing, and what leaders can do to keep learning before customers move on.
