Replay: Ode to the Pivot!

We're on spring break this week. So we're offering a replay of an earlier episode -- it's all about pivots.

Did you know that Nokia started out as a paper mill in Finland? Or that Nintendo once made instant rice? Many of the world's leading companies start out in radically different markets.

Cleantech is the same. Sales cycles are often slow, technologies don't work as planned, and customer needs are constantly evolving. In the tumultuous world of energy, companies pivot all the time.

On this week's episode of The Interchange, we celebrate the pivot.

We'll look back throughout history and choose the most successful and unsuccessful pivots of all time. What do they tell us about how to succeed in this market?
