I recently caught up with Heather Dawson of Business Essentials to chat about a range of business topics, trends and issues.

We crammed a lot into our interview and some of the questions included:

• Why businesses should think about the future when they’re already so busy keeping up with immediate day-to-day things
• What business operators need to know about the changing approach to employment
• The rise of the BetaPreneur
• The decline of the office
• The big drivers behind change
• What we can expect in 2015
• Where  the biggest business opportunities and risks are
• Can all businesses adapt to change or are some inevitably destined for the graveyard?
• What practical steps should we all be taking now to meet the challenges of the future?

This was a far reaching and provocative conversation, just what you need in January to get your innovation juices flowing, have a listen to this extended version interview and then let me know what’s ahead for you in 2015.
