Companies are in business to make a profit. This is not something new, but something that often gets lost as the business journey is underway. As companies progress and they are strategizeing how to win more business and increase margins, they can also focus efforts on unifying their business strategy with the [...] One of the great things about New York was that there was such a great mix of people and they were all at different levels of oblivion. Walking though the streets of Manhattan I came to realize how important it is to safeguard environments to cater to the oblivious guest for their own safety.
