A Walkthrough Of A Broken Organization
By Ken Thoreson, president, Acumen Management Group LTD
For the past 14 years I have been working all across North America and internationally meeting, speaking, and consulting with organizations of all sizes and areas of focus.

Walking into the front office, there are a few chairs, a few outdated vendor awards on the walls and employees pass a visitor without offering a greeting or showing much expression or enthusiasm. This is not a good indicator for the type of reaction the office evokes from prospects who visit.
