Creativity

Cause and Effect Dissociation in Management
Today's challenges require flexibility, resourcefulness and imagination - and sometimes, pure, dumb luck!

This is the seminar that has been acclaimed by novice investors, CPAs and even by international policy economists! The talk that started it all.
