Mark Watson
Hi, I’m Mark Watson, CEO of purpleworks and an expert on getting strategy in play.
I work with CEO’s and Executive Teams to transform the strategies they create into realistic actions people can take to build value in the business. From the leaders perspective, this translates to getting more of their people, doing more of the right things, more of the time.
I’d like to connect with you and start a conversation on how to make this happen in your business. Sign up for my blog, a Master class or, if you can, come and see me speak.
I write regularly for leaders on strategy execution and aligning people to unlock potential and get things done.
