She discusses why organizations should explore growth opportunities and what an organization’s leadership should consider as they think about growth, and how leadership should navigate this new exploratory process. The webinar will also highlight what an organization risks by not embracing change and growth. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in a case example designed to support the content of the presentation.
