PODCAST: 90/10 Switch at The Allbright
we need to think about success and failure differently.
Join Louise Nicolson and Maryam Mazraei, founder of Autopsy, at the first of a series of round table events called 90/10 Switch. We’ve named the series 90/10 Switch because we believe it’s possible to work together as an industry to mitigate failure and redesign performance, to switch the 90% entrepreneurial failure rate to a 90% success rate.
Draw up a chair and join the discussion, recorded live at the allbright on 28th november 2019.
