Does That Even Work is a podcast aimed at growing the mid-market company.

If you're interested in business growth, this podcast is for you.

Are you getting the results you want? Closing all the deals you want, improving your margin, cutting costs year on year?

The "Does That Even Work" podcast challenges the latest business fads and the conventional wisdom we all use in our companies and asks: does that even work?

Future podcasts will cover subjects like Talent Management, the Four Day week (and if that really will work) and the value of teaching dialogue in organisations.
