Business Challenges
Managers these days are challenged by all kinds of problems. Organizations tend to become more and more complex and it’s hard to get oversight. Changing markets and globalization require business model improvements that are hard to implement. Higher agility is needed because of increased competition.

It is clear that managers, like any professional, should be supported by a professional tool to fight these challenges. Tools that really help to focus on the execution of the core strategy to satisfy stakeholders. Tools to manage the right balance between performance and risk. Tools that are designed from the perspective of management, not technology. The core of such a tool should be a methodology, a way of working, that fits the natural behavior of the manager and takes into account the business challenges described above.
