This Q&A e-book explores the challenges manufacturers face when implementing transformation, what steps manufacturers need to take in order to implement transformation, and the benefits of leveraging Competitive Solutions’ Process Based Leadership model. This is an excerpt from the interview we did with Competitive Solutions: “What challenges do companies face in implementing transformation? The number one challenge companies face in implementing change is transformation is not starting with the leadership team.
