Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled. That definition comes from Harvard and we agree with it based on what it represents in context.

The future of work will be determined by the ability of companies to acquire and develop diverse talent. In today’s competitive market the future of corporate performance will be measured by an organization’s ability to retrain and reskill its workforce to meet future demands. One way for companies to ensure their relevance is to have an inclusive value chain.
