This issue of “Companies in Transition” focuses on the importance of people in improving business performance. Without good people, the best strategy in the world is not likely to be successful. On the other hand, a committed team of strong, smart people can often overcome defects in the business strategy as well as navigate the inevitable impediments to successful strategy execution. Business plans are like battle plans. Paraphrasing a famous German general, “no business plan ever survives contact with the marketplace.” It’s what your people do next that makes all the difference.
We hope you enjoy this issue of “Companies in Transition.” Best wishes for a safe and restful Thanksgiving Holiday!
