De fait elles ambitionnent le changement avec les mêmes pratiques habituelles, le même paradigme traditionnel, sans vision ni buts “.

Over the last three years, I’ve studied the maturity paths of some of the world’s leading brands including Dell, Discover, GM, Harvard, Lego, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nestlé, Novartis, Sephora, Starbucks, Target, among many others.
