Business growth – Key strategies for growth
We used to do everything in-house
✓ For convenience
✓ And control
It is no longer possible
✓ It is too long
✓ And too expensive
✓ And we lack resources
We need to secure external resources
➢ To go fast enough
➢ At the lowest possible cost
This means partnerships, networks, communication,
competitive intelligence, knowledge management…
And it is now possible thanks to a much lower cost of transaction
