How fixing other people's problems (repeatedly) led to designing collaboration

It's crazy what you can learn from other people's mistakes, and brilliant to be able to avoid them in the future!

Sarah started as a developer and project manager rapidly moving on to a succession of successful programme recovery roles before she decided to launch her own business, primarily in the hope of building cooperation into the centre of business thinking, thereby avoiding many of the common problems she had encountered.

Richard Anderson interviews Sarah, who shares her extensive experience in managing turnarounds and creating sustainable solutions in the tech industry. The conversation explores the importance of connecting people and technology, fostering collaboration across organisations, and the challenges of navigating the complex regulatory landscape.

Sarah discusses her journey from consulting to founding CoLab's Global, emphasising the need for a cooperative ecosystem to drive innovation and address industry challenges.

The episode concludes with quick-fire questions that reveal Sarah's personal insights and motivations.
