In this episode of the DesignRush Podcast, Global Strategist Rishad Tobaccowala, the former Chief Growth Officer of Publicis Groupe — shares a new way to think about strategy: It’s your “future competitive advantage.”

What you’ll learn: 
✔️ Why most strategies are backward-looking — and how to rethink yours 
✔️ How companies like Microsoft and Domino’s reinvented themselves  
✔️ Why business transformation starts with people, not technology 
 ✔️ How overconfidence leads to self-disruption
