Every successful business decision depends on the
answer to one Essential Question….The answer to the
Essential Question, in fact, will unlock a whole set of
answers and let you know whether you should go left or
right, or stay on course….Once you know what you are
asking for, the dialogue surrounding any undertaking will
shift from data to strategy.
The Essential Question: What is your definition of the Win?
