Methodology
In today's dynamic and hyper-competitive environment, organizations can't afford to have their employees stuck in a tactical mindset. At every level, employees must understand the perishable nature of value and how it is created and captured, analyze different courses of action, and move with greater speed and agility in execution. In short, we have entered an era in which all employees must develop the skills to create and maintain competitive advantage.
