Yo! Sushi Dragon Simon Woodroffe On Soy-Sauce of Innovation & Creativity

The Workplace Evolution Podcast

In this episode Business Psychologist Michael Costello heads to the River Thames to meet with former Dragon’s Den member and founder of Yo! Sushi to discuss how businesses can drive innovation and creativity by following the way of Yo! This podcast delves in to the Yo! brand (Yo! Home, Yo! Sushi and Yo! Hotel) alongside the lessons Simon has learnt during his career and the risks he took to blow the customer’s mind with new technology - including robots telling the customer to shift their arse out of the way! Simon predicts huge casualties on the high street if businesses fail to re-invent, innovate & foster creativity this year but also predicts opportunities for those that embrace change, look to the future for inspiration & challenge the old systems in place. Speaking of opportunities, you will also hear about his future plans of 'Yo! Topia', an island in the Bahamas to rival Richard Branson's Necca Island! Podcast Notes: Website: https://yo.co.uk/ Yo!
