NewGround is a design and build firm with a strong focus on retail financial institutions. One of the most tried and true strategies in business is to build strength in one space \u2013 whether geographic or product space \u2013 and expand slowly into adjacent and related opportunities. If done well, this can compound your initial strength and, potentially, create economies of scope for your firm; a rare but significant competitive advantage. Listen in to hear Julia discuss her work and how she\u2019s been doing her part to achieve that. &amp;nbsp; A great listen for sure!
