What’s important
I heard former Dragon’s Den member and successful entrepreneur say this years ago & it’s always stayed with me
“Every conversation you have with a customer is too short”

How to bring about transformation in the social care sector
This is not just about technology It’s about opening our eyes and looking
around at what’s out there, being less resistant to change, altering our culture and persuading our teams to do things differently
At the end of the day, most things in life are about people – not technology
