By aligning initiatives with industry trends, this firm achieved growth, employee engagement, and resilience.
The senior leadership of a small to medium-sized business attended an industry conference that inspired them to align their business initiatives with hard trends, those events they knew would happen rather than what might happen. This forward-thinking approach promised to future-proof their firm and set them apart from competitors.
Eager to act, they returned to the office ready to implement these transformative ideas. However, three months later, the momentum was lost as day-to-day operations overshadowed strategic efforts.
