Expert Interview With Andrea Kates (32 minutes)
In this interview, the author of "Find Your Next," Andrea Kates, tells us how we can gain a competitive edge by adapting what works well in other industries.
During this interview, we explore:

- The four steps that you can take to map out your business's "DNA."
- How two very different companies used the business genome approach to uncover new opportunities.
