2. Delivering a Compelling ROI Message to Customers
While it’s always important to highlight value, in our current environment communicating a strong return-on-investment message to customers is more important than ever.

4. Four Steps to Business Model Innovation
Too often, leaders only pay attention to the technological changes at the core of their business and ignore those seemingly on the periphery.
