"What we see today is not just more volatility but volatility that comes at us at a much greater pace," says Mark George, Managing Director in Accenture’s ‎Operations and Process Transformation practice.

In this Boardroom Perspectives interview, George describes why being big is no longer the advantage it once was, how companies have moved on from Lean and Six Sigma and why every consulting engagement begins with the question, "why?"
