Strategy: At the Heart of Growth
 At the heart of every successful company is a strong global strategy. Without a dynamic and comprehensive, well communicated corporate strategy with buy-in at all levels, a company is likely to stagnate, or worse, in today’s volatile business environment. The GIL Global Community is here to support your efforts in developing those initiatives that keep you thriving at the forefront of your industry.
This month, we bring you several strategies from industry experts and thought leaders that can help foster growth, personally and professionally. From optimizing your work force to blue ocean innovation, we examine the elements that contribute to these sound growth strategies.
Active participation in the GIL Global Community as well as at world-class events like the upcoming
GIL 2012: Europe being held in London on May 9, 2012, is sure to accelerate your growth. I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
David Frigstad
