Book Description

Is maximizing Magic Quadrant protection the same as minimizing Magic Quadrant loss? What are the business goals Magic Quadrant is aiming to achieve? What will be the consequences to the business (financial, reputation etc) if ADR does not go ahead or fails to deliver the objectives? Are there any disadvantages to implementing Magic Quadrant? There might be some that are less obvious? How can we improve Magic Quadrant? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY company, organization and department.
