<![CDATA[Apple New Store Openings]]>https://joenorton.co.uk/appleretail/66f414cce10b600007b87125Mon, 30 May 2022 12:52:00 GMT

Apple stores were never really designed to sell as much as to educate.
From design to conception, I worked with the global teams to stand up Apple retail stores across the world.

Taking an existing, sucessful operation to new countries or territories is by no means cookie cutter. We would typically begin with design, ensuring the current "standard" was achievable in the location and was sympathetic to the environment physically, ethically and in some cases politically.

Identifying cultural and societal norms in tandem with localised labour law we would then tweak design appropriately. Whether it's the works councils in Germany and France or the political leaders in the UAE or provincial China there is always more than jsut the physical space to conisder.

My long term goal is to help businesses grow while maintaining a culture conducive to inclusivity and innovation.

Culture is the character and personality of your organisation. It's what makes your business unique and is the sum of its values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviors, and attitudes.

Positive workplace culture attracts talent, drives engagement, impacts satisfaction, and affects performance. The personality of your business is influenced by everything. Leadership, management, workplace practices, policies, people, and more impact culture significantly.

The biggest mistake organisations make is letting their workplace culture form naturally without first defining what they want it to be.

Over the next 3 years I am studying to become a psychotherapist. I plan to put my learnings to use helping businesses transform with longevity.  

Some key pillars I maintain through my project management:
DATA MATTERS –  Facts over noise
SOLUTION MINDED – Solve problems to increase effectiveness, not to be busy
EMBRACE CHANGE – Innovate and persevere
ACCOUNTABLE – Do what's right with authenticity
LOVE IT– Be better each day
