I was reviewing the website of a strategy consulting firm recently, and their focus on strategy and team alignment felt like the same old, same old. I read further to discover that they focus on passion and mission (hello Simon Sinek). But what struck me about their work is that they also focus on culture and change management.

The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This definition, plus the recognition that drivers of health (DOH) account for 80-90% of health outcomes , exhibits the interdependent nature of health.

Take on the challenge before you’re fully ready.

Patenting is seen to be the gold standard for protecting a company’s intellectual property (IP) and technologies. In reality, the overwhelming majority of patents hold little value, with approximately 97% failing to cover the expenses incurred during their filing process.
