"The meaning of business value varies across organizations, but understanding the specific goals and drivers for each organization is crucial for success. The recent global changes we are experiencing have made this focus more critical, but in some ways - more elusive," said Charlotte Yates, Founder of the Spark Executive Forum and CEO of Yates Ltd.
