- Companies that have dealt with crisis management as it relates to a crisis affecting its business -- bad publicity, natural disaster, etc.
- Companies with a formalized strategic plan for the years ahead, or those in the middle of a planning process, or those who think there's no benefit to having a plan ...
- The power of networking and relationship-building. If you've benefited from peers and relationship-building we'd love to talk to you. - Differentiation in your market ... how are you standing out in the crowd?
