Learnings & Expert views on the Nike situation
Sure, much has been written about Nike by both (former) insiders and outsiders. Critiquing Nike’s current situation is easy, even for us, as we aren’t directly involved. We spontaneously decided to meet – a week before the current CEO stepped down – to discuss Nike, and it turned out to be a valuable exchange of thoughts that we want to share with you.
This conversation aims to foster a genuine understanding of Nike’s current challenges and draws on theories and experiences about how it could bounce back—offering lessons for others facing similar challenges. It also offers valuable insights on staying relevant and future-ready!
