A Noble Purpose Inspires Sacrifice, Stimulates Innovation

An Adaptable Company Is One That Captures More Than Its Fair Share Of New Opportunities. It's Always Redefining Its 'core Business' In Ways That Open Up New Avenues For Growth.

In An Increasingly Non-linear Economy, Incremental Change Is Not Enough-you Have To Build A Capacity For Strategy Innovation, One That Increases Your Ability To Recognize New Opportunities.
