Strategy Consulting
“The quest for productivity, quality and speed has spawned remarkable number of management tools and techniques: total quality management, benchmarking, time based competition, outsourcing, re-engineering etc. Although the gains from these operational improvements have been dramatic, most companies are unable to convert these gains into sustainable profitability”
– Prof. M. Porter
