Tarzan Economics: Eight Principles For Pivoting Through Disruption
According to Will Page, Spotify's first Chief Economist, the most crucial lesson you can learn in today's challenging business environment is how to change the fundamentals of what you do, rather than carry on fighting a battle that is already lost.
With the near destruction of the music industry at the hands of online piracy and its subsequent recovery on the backs of digital streaming platforms is more than just the biggest story of disruption and reinvention of the digital age. For Will, it is also a trove of insights on how to confront the metamorphosis we are all facing in dealing with the Covid-19 era, as accelerating tech and economic changes reshape our work, our play, and our very minds.
In this session, join Will as he extrapolates music's journey into eight guiding principles for pivoting through the ubiquitous disruption in nearly all industries and joyfully brings these insights to life, and provides a guide for knowing not just how to grab the new vine, but when.
