UnBranding: Loyalty in the Age of Disruption
We’re in the age of disruption. Today’s business climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. Every week, it seems there is a new strategy, social media site or technology that is a “must use” or a “game-changer”. What we lose in this endless quest for the next bright shiny business object is that at the core of business while everything has changed, nothing is different. Trust, connection, consistency, and service will always trump any new app to hit the market. In this keynote, Scott will walk the audience through what is real and what are only smoke screens in the business world today.
Some key concepts:
-
The Millennial Myth. The younger generation may create new challenges for business, but not in the way people are saying.
-
Everyone is branding – learn to value and invest in your front line

The Disruptors. Disruption simply means change without time to resist it. Learning how to anticipate and deal with it as it comes.
