INSIDE is as much about coming to understand one’s own competencies as it is about developing new ones. “In too many cases, people think they can ask a company to come and help them. This will not work in the long term as you don’t have the core competencies yourself. You have to understand the level of competency your organisation needs to be functional and competitive.
