What we do for you:
Todays business is faced with a rapidly changing environment. Globalization and free trade has resulted in competition and markets, which are no longer located down the street, within the province or even on the continent. The Internet has drastically changed the way companies and customers communicate and complete business transactions. Product life cycles have reduced from decades to months. Product development cycles have reduced from years to months. Highly skilled employees are available but there is intense competition to attract and retain them. Career employees are a thing of the past. Mergers, joint ventures and acquisitions result in the competition constantly changing. Venture capital markets have presented strong resource and growth opportunities to many companies. These dynamic conditions reinforce the fact that in todays business environment, change is the only constant.
