Innovation Isn’t Always the Key to Success While innovation is important, consistency and reliability in delivering core products or services often matter more. Continuous improvement in existing offerings can build a stronger brand reputation and customer base. A boring business represents a lower risk to the buyer and makes it easier to sell. #21Steps #ExitInsights

Digital transformation – what does it really mean? It’s more than having a website, or transacting sales and purchases online. While these are indeed part of the larger picture, neither of them is the whole picture. Perhaps the most important part of digital transformation is having the right technology to underpin your operations and to make your team more powerful, more efficient, less fallible, giving your business the ability to get more done in less time. In the exciting first edition of GEMEDGE, our Founder & CEO, Elle Hill, dives deep into this topic. Elle shares invaluable insights on not just the criticality of digital transformation but also on understanding the evolving consumer behaviors and the industry success stories that are setting the path for the future. ------ Spearheaded by industry experts Nancy Leach, Birgit Rieder, PhD, and Sarah Birkbauer, together with renowned jewelry historian and journalist Vivienne Becker, GEMEDGE is an exquisite publication dedicated to the upcoming trends, designs and narratives in the world of fine jewelry. We invite you to explore the full publication today. https://bit.ly/4ajsUTg
