Baglan believes that, in this age of informational abundance, companies who successfully achieve their full potential are those who can focus on the key aspects that provide maximum impact, then develop the organisational capability to do this continuously and effectively. In his role, he identifies this key focus by making sure the problem is defined correctly and priorities are clear and aligned. He then helps his clients learn and apply these skills.
