The "Connected CEO": Creating a Powerful Growth Opportunity Pipeline
Manufacturing
A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.
Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.
Why?
Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.
