Why Business Development is relevant

An enterprise can enjoy sustainable value creation (incl. profits) only if its business model, process model, and organizational structure are aligned – in this order. In VUCAD times, the ability to quickly adapt to a challenging context becomes crucial for the prosperity of any business. This demands an assembly of highly accountable key roles taken on by skilled professionals, who are willing to accept the corresponding accountability, within an appropriate, flexible working environment.
