In a fast paced and digitalised world, professional firms are facing challenges to their business models. To help firms stay ahead of the competition, we are seeing unprecedented number of mergers and restructuring in the industry. In the face of such disruptions, how do we ensure that we are in the best frame of mind to tackle these challenges ahead?
