“Common sense is not so common”
- VoltaireWhile advising our clients, we have obviously come across several situations that remind us of the basic business concepts and principles that are taught in Business Schools. These concepts have always been summarized, for making it easy to remember them, with simple yet powerful quotes and are typically attributed to famous credible figures from different nationalities, societies, and backgrounds, be they leaders, scientists, or businessmen.
Such quotes are easily forgotten if not reminded of in practice, and some of them were ambiguous, or even debatable.
Below are some of these famous quotes covering major aspects of a typical business, including but not limited to strategy, planning & monitoring, operating model, talent, etc., but more importantly, for each quote, you will find a glimpse of our insights inspired from our experience living the quote in practice.
We hope you’ll enjoy skimming through our insights, and we will be happy to help you reflect on how these are applied to your own business, and how to improve any areas that need development.
