The Resident-Led Organisation
Speakers
Charlie Dawson

Recent projects at The Foundation include helping…
- The £18bn supermarket Morrisons run a customer-led turnaround from 2015 to a PE sale for £7bn in 2021
- Jaguar Land Rover tackle a customer-led transformation of business model and approach in the UK
- Airport group AGS go from being in internal disarray and external decline, to an outward-looking, purposeful and united success focused on the people they serve.
He is now working with Continental Tyres globally, E.On and housing association Moat in the UK on their journeys to become customer pioneers, organisations that succeed by going first in their sectors to make things better for customers.
