Failure is a loss of revenue, an added cost, a lack of judgement.

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. These latter two concepts were the things that got my attention.

What is health? Many people think of health in terms of medical care and physical health, or simply, the absence of sickness. But this is a limited definition. 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.
