When it comes to strategy execution, smaller is better. For this reason, today’s corporate giants should look to agile start-ups for inspiration. In the modern world – where change seems to occur in the time it takes to click a mouse or tap a smartphone – newer, more agile companies are beating the long-standing industry players at their own game.
In an exclusive interaction with People Matters, Ricardo Viana Vargas, Executive Director of the Brightline Initiative™, talks about bridging the gap between strategy development and implementation, and about transforming the future.
