Creating an Invincible Company: Why the Best Businesses Never Stand Still

What separates companies that continually grow from those that slowly fade?

In this episode of The Just Great People Podcast, Barry Eustance talks to Nick Himowicz, innovation coach and expert in Strategyzer’s globally respected methodology.

Together, they explore how the world’s most resilient companies use tested frameworks — like the Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, and Design Test Loop — to reinvent themselves again and again.

Nick strips away the fluff:

Strategy only works when it’s simple, visible and directly connected to customer value.

Culture isn’t the “soft stuff” — it’s the operating system of innovation.

Reinvention isn’t a one-off. It’s a habit.

This conversation unpacks how real teams use strategic tools to align, test and execute — not just plan.

And every insight connects back to practical skills taught in The Sixsess Consultancy’s training programmes, including how to:

– Build a change-ready culture
– Test business models with speed
– Align strategy with operations and customer reality
