#65 JAMIE CRUICKSHANK - MAKE CAR SELF DRIVE / REBECCA GRAY - FOCUS ON OUTCOMES

// Jamie Cruickshank - Make Car Drive Self

Self-driving cars are coming and the benefits will be huge. With this new tech just around the corner, it’s vital that the new breed of transport services will be available to everyone.

People of every gender, race, age, ability and economic background must be able to use and benefit from a safe, accessible shared service.

What can we do to make sure this happens? How can we find, celebrate and amplify the voices that need to be heard? How can we create a service for all of society? And how does it all work anyway?

// About Jamie

// Rebecca Gray - Focusing teams on outcomes instead of outputs

It’s really easy for teams to work super hard and deliver a bucket load of outputs that don’t necessarily deliver any value for customers.

We all know that we should be focusing on outcomes instead of outputs but it’s more difficult to figure out how to practically do that.

Rebecca will be helping us to unpack some really simple ways to help teams focus on outcomes.
