What to buy, who to work for, who to choose as supplier, friend or associate.
Business looks to the future to plan. But what if the future is already here & you missed it!
People are increasingly selective & choosing to deal with businesses that embody “Purpose” as well as profit. Businesses that have a Culture & values with which they can identify.
