This will not make you succeed, but in difficult times especially, it is always appreciable...
And since you can’t be excellent everywhere, we have teamed up with Rise Partners, an innovation consulting firm, to pool our skills at the service of entrepreneurs. For example, they provide a coaching dimension (business strategy, finance, marketing, human capital, etc.).
