Past Event : Rich Mulholland

At Rich Mulholland’s session on “Being Relentlessly Relevant,” EO members explored the crucial need for constant evolution in business. Mulholland emphasized that relevance in today’s market is more important than change itself. Drawing parallels between brands like Blackberry and iPhone, he highlighted the dangers of stagnation. Business leaders must frequently assess

their relevance, empower teams to challenge old strategies, and adopt new strategic models. From Netflix’s bold pivot to AI advancements, he drove home the point that staying relevant means embracing disruption, redefining your offering, and continually finding ways to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
