Managing your business today is challenging. We’re all faced with increased complexity, decreasing supply, disruptive change, environmental restrictions and shrinking margins. Many of us also have succession and exit and ‘next-gen’ management challenges. In addition, great employees are hard to find and keep...and that problem won’t go away any time soon. Donald works with business owners and managers throughout the world to create clarity of purpose, compelling customer value, management effectiveness and long-term profitability.
