Talking In A Language That Everyone Can Understand - with Mark Rice
Lee talks to Mark Rice, the Group Chief Information Officer for The Big Word, a market leader in translation, interpretation, localisation and language technology solutions.
Mark discusses his business philosophies, the “Larry” rule and how it can help your business ideas, and how The Big Word are adapting to a new business landscape.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most ideas that enhance or upgrade a business are essentially re-runs of older ideas. It is the interpretation of these ideas, and the adaptation into a new landscape that set them apart. Ideas always transmit better when they are crystallised. If you can’t distil an idea into a thirty second pitch, then you need to go away and think about it again. Workers who are free to express themselves creatively, and with less pressure, will always deliver better results in the end. Remote working should never be all-or-nothing, but tailored to each worker’s circumstances. It is unfair to expect our workers to live and work constantly in the same place. We should be giving options.BEST MOMENTS
