1. Defining the path ahead

On the 29th of May 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stood triumphant on the summit of Mount Everest holding aloft their ice axes. Their joy in that moment was the reward for a clear goal, lengthy planning, intense effort and extreme courage. When did you and your team last stand proud after delivering on a business-changing goal or ground-breaking customer project?

Anything worth doing requires upfront investment: clarifying your goals, understanding the conditions in which you'll operate, defining the key factors for success and then … relentless and courageous execution for you and your team. That's what this Action Pack is about.

What you will learn to do

• Analyse and understand your marketplace
