Read MoreYou can consider that a company will experience 3 broad stages during it's growth. And market / revenue growth has to be balance with internal organisational growth. And so, while a company needs to adjust what it does as it grows, it also needs to change what it is, and this parallel change in being is a cultural
Read MoreI am a great believer in the value of a company being in touch with its values. And I am greatly saddened when I see those values distilled into a mere list of words that are written on walls and published in websites. And you know some of the words I'm talking about: Communication, Respect, Integrity and Excellence are a few of the common...

Adjustments to the cooking time or temperature,...
Read MoreFor as long as I can remember, I have been interested in why people do some things and why they don't do other things.
