In the process of setting objectives for your business goals, you should always think SMART – as management guru Peter Drucker applies this expression. To make your objectives easy to understand and monitor, they need to be specific, measurable, assignable, realistic and time-related.

I set out to engage 100% in innovation work, it has been quiet a journey of discovery and then translating the parts.

Change is difficult, and changing for the better rarely happens out of virtue. When prospects reach out we know only one fact: They want to change something in their organizational mix and grow and want help.

Other times, Wall Street needs to see innovation in the pipeline to ratchet up the market value.
