Held on Tuesday, March 12th, this was a discussion with Paula Kensington around Disrupted Business Models – an exploration into what might be possible in a world that needs business to be better.
Paula is navigating the world of doing business differently. As a Corporate CFO of 30 years experience, she is aware that finance professionals need to work within current structures and frameworks in order to bring about systemic shifts. How do we make this earth-critical transition for small, medium, and large enterprises?
