If you think leading a company or organisation in Perth or any lifestyle city means you only need to know your local consumers you’d be making a crucial mistake, according to Spacecubed Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) Tim Brewer.“We live in an increasingly frictionless world, businesses and individuals need to view their product as a global offering, rather than a local product they are aiming to take global. As global product, you’re in a Gig economy, and you need to compete and be superior at scale, which means you need to be faster than people in other places, you need to deliver more value for your users, and you need to market better online than your competitors,” says Tim.
