way we live our lives making their contribution to society so valuable.
At 8S2Business, we believe that the human factor is a strong competitive edge in business as it is
directly linked to the human ability to adapt. Indeed, the human factor plays a key role in helping
companies to deal with the fast-changing competitive environment.
For this reason, we encourage essential leadership competencies such as open and direct methods
of dealing with complexity, uncertainty and diversity of perspectives.
