Overcoming hurdles and staying on track

The future is both green and digital. Those two even go hand in hand. But how do you get there as a company? Turns out it is all about asking the right questions. It is not so much about the ‘how’, but more about the ‘why’. Motivation and inspiration are key indicators for this. Both in business and in sports. It is easy to get sidetracked in this world full of happenings, but it is important to stay on track. Towards that digital future. Or, like a sportsman would put it: always keep your eyes on the prize.
