SIM in the Suburbs Breakfast (West & South)

Strategy has been described by some as a mental tapestry of changing intentions that are used for harmonizing and focusing efforts as a basis for realizing some aim or purpose in an unfolding and often unforeseen world of many bewildering events and many contending interests. During time of rapid change this mental tapestry is by necessity based upon agility. And, now more than ever, agility is at the top of every company’s most wanted list.

SIM In The Suburbs is excited to present Michael Hugos, CIO at Large with Center for Systems Innovation.
