  • Then what? Strategic business questions.

    Every organization wants people with answers. I prefer people with questions – specific questions like: What if? Why not? Then what?

  • Innovation as an economic turnaround strategy

    After months of cutbacks, reductions and layoff, is your organization ready for an economic rebound? Emotionally? Probably yes.
