The Awakened Company comes at a time of crisis in the business world, as evidenced by financial meltdown, poor results, cultural crisis, which was a cry for help from a bipolar boom-bust business model that’s failing. Those in the know in the business world are coming to the realization this is no longer sustainable.
From unsustainable growth and boom-bust cycles to a profit-first/people-last approach, the evidence shows our businesses are failing.
