Strategy and turbulence... two words that capture the essence of many companies' current transformation efforts. Much akin to a cyclist navigating a mountainous terrain, success lies in balancing the focus on the summit while acknowledging the significance of each pedal's stroke. Profits aren't assured, yet a steadfast strategy and unwavering execution significantly tip the scales toward success.
