Using the historical example of the Titanic's sinking, Julia highlights six warning signs that went unnoticed, leading to the disaster. These lessons are directly applied to modern business practices, emphasising the need for proper handovers, correct equipment, safety drills, adequate resources, prioritising the right tasks, and not relying solely on past successes.
Julia introduces the concept of 'Titanic Syndrome' and encourages businesses to stay vigilant and adaptable to avoid their own potential downfalls.
