Why did Photobox use Jyre?​
​
With the growing demand of online business, competition is a familiar topic for most organisations. Dealing with an increasingly crowded and competitive marketplace, where competitors appear to innovate faster, customer retention levels come under pressure. Resulting in a cultural shift to collaborative team-working and a need to drive innovation.
What did Jyre do to help?​​
​
Jyre helped Photobox create a set of leadership principles and a framework to navigate leadership expectations at Photobox. The combination of Jyre’s digital product and expert support — flexed around individual interests and needs — helped build self-awareness of leadership strengths while helping our people with their development.
