Done right, the strategy can be hypnotic, disguising your next step and keeping rivals off-balance as you get into position to make your next big play.Ready to learn the right moves? The experts speak. Javier Flores, SAP: “To be trusted is a greater compliment that being loved” (G. MacDonald). Kyle Tate, SAP: “It’ll all be alright in the end. And if it is not alright, then it is not yet the end” (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel). Don Gordon, SAP: “My geranium is dying, for all I can do, Still leaning toward the last place the sun was” (T. Roethke). Join us for Basketball Playbook to Consumer Products: The Crossover Move.
