The Problems with Most Organizational Planning Processes
Many organizations waste large sums of time and money because they do not have all their key people on board with where they are heading.

As we enter 2016, you hear story after story about the internet of things, the union of ecommerce with digital intelligence, cognitive computing and the cognitive business.
