“An EMS makes you think differently - ‘out of the box.’ It forces you to look at things you’ve been looking at for years in a new way, to formalize and rationalize your decisions. It creates a different, more dynamic organizational culture. There’s actually a heightened level of interest, even excitement that is generated.”
