What everyone got wrong about Blockbuster, according to former CEO James Keyes

What did everyone get wrong about Blockbuster?

Former CEO of Blockbuster and 7-Eleven James Keyes joins Natalie Berg on #RetailDisrupted to discuss:

♦ Change equals opportunity – lessons from Jim’s career and how to avoid being disrupted during periods of turbulence.
♦ Dispelling the myths behind Blockbuster’s demise – why fear, not Netflix, killed Blockbuster.
♦ Why Jim believes we might see a revival of the Blockbuster brand.
♦ Diversification – with Netflix opening restaurants, TikTok opening shops and Amazon opening hair salons, just how far could and should brands veer from their core?
♦ How technology can empower staff and elevate the customer experience.
♦ Lessons from Jim’s new book, EDUCATION IS FREEDOM: The Future Is in Your Hands: understanding the importance of collaboration, cultural literacy, continual evolution and character.
