Get ready as we bring you what we hope is an engaging interview session between Jon Bach, the Director of Program Management in eBay’s Core Product division, and Matt Barcomb, Founder of Tackboom Shift.

• Unleashing Potential: Identify existing tensions and friction within your organization and gain valuable insights into resolving them effectively.
• Evolutionary Optimization: Discover the secrets to continuously fine-tuning your organization’s fit-to-purpose design, ensuring it stays ahead of the game.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to revitalize your approach to change management!
