1yThank you Joanne, a wonderful quick read. The recipe is so simple yet so many fail in one area or another. Customers account for over 50% of new innovative ideas and the balance stems from suppliers, company leadership, sales and marketing departments, employees and competitors. An agile leader with a customer centric approach along with all the other criteria you mention are fundamental to the success of the organisation.
