While the innovation prowess of the top-performing companies are well known, the “big business” side of the market only represents one-third of the $30 trillion dollars in private sector gross receipts. The mid-market, representing another third, is largely defined as firms with annual revenues of over $100 million but less than $3 billion.

In my 30 years of working with top leaders from business, health care, government and education, I have found that the majority of change comes from the outside in.
