99% of all animal species that have ever existed are extinct.

Companies are no different.

Every year, businesses collapse because they failed to adapt. Some had a great product but couldn’t evolve their processes. Others had a strong market position but clung to outdated ways of working.

What’s the biggest obstacle stopping your company from moving faster?
