Outside-In Perspective

Always, always get an outside-in perspective. The world now has a wide plethora of services ranging from networking platforms, digital forums to syndicated benchmarking, and experts for hire. It always helps to get an unconnected voice to talk about what works, and more importantly, what may not work. In a closed room, everyone has an agenda. Talk to someone who will get paid (in some form), or not, no matter what they say. It helps ask the right questions and zero in on the right path or alternative.
