Is your Board onboard? Is your CEO ready and able to take the organization to the next step?
Does the organization have a strategic direction?
Do you have adequate resources?
How do you start? Assess yourself. Assess each other with the help
of team leadership. Choose your helpers, advisors
and experts. Be prepared to make an
investment of both time and money.
Be patient.
