In addition, his familiarity with our current stage of development is crucial, having seen first-hand the challenges and opportunities that this presents.”

Batchelor added: “There is nothing more compelling than watching people do things and Watch Me Think clients are finding this a great source of insight, as well as a great source of stories that can't be ignored by your colleagues or your channel partners, sales teams or investors.”
