Increasing strategic agility and growth through Enterprise Payment Optimization (EPO)

The Creative Revolution of the Finance Profession Requires a Mindshift
According to globally recognized innovation strategist Shawn Kanungo, the coronavirus pandemic changed everything.

Organizations fall along a spectrum between those who are either afraid to act, or those who fall victim to action bias (blindly choosing action over inaction), which produces DEI efforts that amount to nothing more than lip service.
