The study sampled 90 firms from the main board of the Nigerian Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2012. There is no significant relationship between board equity, board independence, and board age with company performance. Based on these findings, the study recommends legislation mandating companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange to appoint at least 30 to 35% of <a href="https://www.thehumancapitalhub.com/articles/gender-equality-in-the-boardroom-can-it-happen-on-its-own" alt="women on the board of directors" class="on">women on the board of directors</a> and this could potentially improve company performance in Nigeria.

Therefore, it is crucial for companies to carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of gender diversity when making decisions about board composition.</li><li>Results from a study of board composition and company performance in Sub-Saharan Africa suggest <a target="_blank" href="https://scite.ai/reports/board-composition-and-company-performance-wrLQxz" alt="that having a higher ratio of foreign directors on the board may negatively impact accounting performance">that having a higher ratio of foreign directors on the board may negatively impact accounting performance</a>. Cultural differences and a lack of understanding of the local market could be the reason. Surprisingly the study did not find a significant association between board size and company performance, suggesting that having a larger board does not necessarily lead to better performance. The study found no significant association between board composition and stock performance, indicating that investors may not view board composition as a key factor in their investment decisions. Overall, these findings provide valuable insights for companies operating in Sub-Saharan Africa and suggest that careful consideration should be given to the composition of their boards to optimize company performance.</li><li>​<a target="_blank" href="https://scite.ai/reports/effectiveness-of-the-board-of-V0EEkgLz" alt="Board size has a negative effect on ROA">Board size has a negative effect on ROA</a> but has a positive correlation with ROE. This suggests that larger boards may not be as effective in generating returns for the company as smaller boards. On the other hand, board independence was found to positively affect both ROA and ROE, indicating that having independent directors on the board can lead to better financial performance. However, the study found no significant relationship between board activity and company performance.</li><li>In this <a target="_blank" href="https://scite.ai/reports/asia-s-board-diversity-does-director-684wL0g" alt="study">study</a>, a significant relationship existed between board diversity and firm performance as measured by return on assets.

The study finds that the relationship between female board representation and market performance is near zero. However, it is positive in countries with greater gender parity and negative in countries with low gender parity.

14 Things You Need to Know About Company Boards

With an estimated <a href="https://firstsiteguide.com/blogging-stats/">seven million blog posts</a> being uploaded onto sites like Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr daily, it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of competition in the blogging universe. Due to this, bloggers must attract readership by any means possible, whether by catching their eye with punchy headlines or drawing them in with captivating images. But nowadays, bloggers must rely on much more than just aesthetics. In a world where smartphones and tablets dominate every aspect of our personal and professional lives, optimising your blog for mobile use is no longer an option – it’s a necessity. With more and more of the population using their handheld devices to access the internet, making your site mobile-friendly is essential so you don’t lose readership and reach your target demographic. While the assumption behind responsive design is that it takes tons of coding, which can take away the visual appeal of your blog, this is far from the truth! There are many ways to make your blog mobile-friendly while maintaining its professional yet aesthetic appearance, from reducing the size of images using a PDF compressor and sticking to simple designs to using standard fonts and increasing your website’s speed. So, suppose you’re ready to optimise your business's blog/site for mobiles and tablets while ensuring it maintains its aesthetic value. In that case, we’ve created this article outlining several tips to help you get started. Equipped with this knowledge, you’ll be able to attract/retain readership, increase your online presence, and propel the success of your business in a predominately digital world. <h2>Simplify Your Blog/Website </h2> You might not have noticed before, but when you use a handheld device to browse the internet (like a mobile phone or tablet), each website, blog, or page you click on will be a more simplified version of its desktop version. Condensing your blog down for mobile users allows them to find what they need more quickly as they only see the essentials; therefore, when copying and designing your website for mobile, ensure that you simplify everything. For instance, if your business is an independent bakery that specialises in sweet treats made to order. If a client were to view your site on a laptop, visitors would see everything they could ever want to know about your delicious confectionaries. Yet, when a customer is using their phone, they don’t want to see all that cluttering their screen; they only want to see the essentials like how to order, product selection, etc. By eliminating any elements that don’t add to the mobile shopping experience, you create a mobile site that is easy on the eyes, quick to load, and simple to navigate. With a simplified business blog/site, you can keep your readership focused on the information you want them to digest instead of wandering elsewhere. And since technology can severely affect the human attention span, you want to keep them engaged for as long as possible! <h2>Improve The Size Of Images And CSS</h2> Did you know that the ideal load time for websites is between one and two seconds? And if the site fails to comply within three seconds, over 53% of visitors will abandon the page and click on a competitor's link instead. Ultimately, your business's blog/site aims to attract visitors and encourage them to stick around long enough to make a purchase, so if you want to achieve this, you’ll want to pay attention to your website's load times. While avoiding pop-ups, deleting unnecessary plug-ins, getting rid of ads, and choosing a more specific theme, are all excellent ways to improve your website's loading time, you might have overlooked one of the simplest ways to achieve this – images and CSS. Websites take a little longer to load when using a handheld device to browse the internet because they are designed to fit and load for bigger screens. Images and CSS are two of the biggest culprits for slow loading times since they require a lot of server space. But you don’t want to eliminate these elements; otherwise, you’ll be left with a dull, plain blog; instead, you should compress them. <a href="https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf">Compressing your images</a> using a PDF compressor like the one from Smallpdf allows them to load faster without impacting the aesthetic of your site. Whether you need to compress a PDF or convert files to or from a PDF, they have various PDF tools to help you edit, e-sign, convert, compress, merge and much more. Consider visiting their website to learn more about their different PDF tools and how they could help you make your business’s blog/site more mobile-friendly today. <h2>Avoid Using Pop-Ups And Refreshers </h2> While hijacking an entire screen isn’t subtle, pop-ups and refreshers are an effective way of getting the attention of new customers, peddling your latest discount codes, and making announcements. But there’s just one minor problem with them…everybody hates them. On a desktop, pop-ups aren’t so tedious to deal with because you have a bigger screen to work with, but when using a mobile device, they can potentially cover the whole page. Nothing encourages a reader to abandon their search faster than a stream of back-to-back pop-ups preventing them from carrying out their online task – plus, have you ever tried to exit a pop-up on your mobile or tablet? It’s nightmare-inducing! Therefore, if you want to optimise your site for mobile users, it's best to ditch the pop-ups and refreshers. Or, if you’re reluctant to eliminate them, at least pin them to the bottom of your blog/site or deactivate them for mobile users. Alternatively, you could use a bar at the top/bottom of your business's blog to display the latest discount codes, running promotions, and other important announcements. <h2>Add A Search Bar </h2> If your business specialises in e-commerce and retails hundreds of different products, consider adding a search bar at the top of your blog/site if you’re considering responsive design. Using the popular online marketplace eBay, for example, there are <a href="https://www.bigcommerce.co.uk/blog/ebay-marketplace-statistics/">over a billion estimated active listings</a>. Yet, using their handy search bar, you can skim through thousands of listings in seconds and take advantage of many other convenient features. And while your business’s website might not rival the product catalogue of Amazon or eBay, installing a search bar can help visitors find the information/product/service they require faster. Some search bars allow visitors to filter the results, which is perfect if it’s their first time on your site and they are unsure what they’re looking for. Ultimately, it creates a better mobile experience for customers and minimises the risk of them clicking off your site because they can’t find what they need fast enough. <h2>Avoid Using Flash </h2> Despite its name, if you want to create a mobile-friendly site, it’s best to avoid using fancy design elements like pop-ups, refreshers, and Flash. While Flash is an excellent tool for boosting interaction, if you’ve noticed your website suffering from slower load times, Flash is likely to be your main culprit! Since most Flash files are large, the bigger the file size is, the longer it takes your pages to load, which can lead to frustration and more visitors clicking off your site. To prevent this, it is best to optimise the size of your Flash files or eliminate them altogether and replace them with something more mobile-friendly, like HTML5 alternatives.

With an estimated seven million blog posts being uploaded onto sites like Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr daily, it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of competition in the blogging universe.

How To Make Your Businesses Blog/Website More Mobile-Friendly (And Look Good Too!)

In today's fast-paced world, productivity is the lifeblood of success in the workplace. It determines the efficiency, effectiveness, and overall output of individuals and teams. But why is productivity so crucial? Well, the answer lies in its power to drive results, boost performance, and propel businesses toward their goals. To help you unlock your full potential and achieve greater productivity, this blog post will share four proven techniques to enhance your work efficiency. You'll discover actionable tips, best practices, and expert insights that can revolutionize the way you approach work and transform your results. So, if you're ready to maximize your output, increase your focus, and achieve more in less time, let's dive into these proven techniques. <h2>Time Management</h2> Effective <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2022/08/31/the-top-10-time-management-tips-to-work-smarter-not-harder/">time management</a> improves productivity by helping individuals make the most of their available time and accomplish tasks efficiently. Here are some practical strategies for good time management: 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Set Clear Goals: Define your goals and establish a plan to achieve them. Break down larger goals into smaller, easier tasks. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Prioritize Tasks: Identify the most important tasks that must be completed first and focus your time and energy on those tasks. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Utilize Time-Tracking Tools: Use time-tracking apps or tools to track your time on tasks and identify areas where you can improve efficiency. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Avoid Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time to increase productivity and avoid distractions. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Take Breaks: Short breaks can help you recharge and maintain focus throughout the day. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Delegate Tasks: Learn to delegate tasks to others who are better suited for them, freeing up time for more important tasks. 
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Eliminate Distractions: Minimize interruptions and distractions by turning off notifications, closing unnecessary tabs, and working in a quiet environment. One real-life example of the benefits of good time management is a business professional who sets specific, measurable goals for each day. He then employs time-blocking techniques to allocate focused time for essential tasks to enhance productivity significantly. This individual's ability to manage their time effectively helps them meet deadlines, achieve their targets, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. This example demonstrates how effective time management allows individuals to optimize their productivity, reduce procrastination, enhance focus, and achieve better outcomes in their personal and professional lives. By implementing practical strategies such as goal setting, task prioritization, and time-tracking, individuals can become more efficient, proactive, and successful in managing their time and accomplishing their objectives. <h2>Minimizing Distractions</h2> Distractions can significantly hinder productivity in the workplace. To minimize distractions, create a focused work environment conducive to productivity. This means finding a quiet space, setting up a comfortable workstation, and minimizing clutter. Noise-canceling headphones can also help in reducing background noise. They help create a quieter, more focused environment that promotes productivity. Another effective technique for managing distractions is time-blocking. This involves breaking your workday into smaller, more manageable chunks of time and dedicating each block to a specific task. By doing this, you can eliminate distractions and focus on completing one task at a time. Managing digital distractions is also crucial for enhancing productivity. Email notifications, social media alerts, and other digital interruptions can disrupt workflow and decrease productivity. Set aside specific times to check your email and social media accounts to reduce digital distractions. You can also utilize apps that block certain websites during work hours or set your phone to "Do Not Disturb" mode. Setting clear boundaries with co-workers is also essential, especially during busy periods. Let them know you're working on an important project and must limit interruptions. You can create a more focused, productive work environment by minimizing distractions and managing digital interruptions. This will enable you to complete tasks more efficiently and meet your goals promptly. <h2>Delegation and Collaboration</h2> The ability to effectively communicate and work together as a team is crucial for achieving peak productivity, and so is the ability to delegate duties to team members. By leveraging team strengths, individuals can assign tasks to team members with the required skills and expertise. This ensures that tasks are performed at a high level and allows individuals to focus on their own areas of expertise, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency. Assigning tasks efficiently involves delegating responsibilities based on each team member's workload, capabilities, and interests. By matching tasks to individuals best suited for them, productivity is enhanced, as team members can work on what they excel at and are motivated to accomplish. It is crucial to foster effective communication and collaboration for successful delegation. By maintaining open lines of communication, team members can discuss tasks, share ideas, and provide feedback, leading to improved outcomes and efficiency. Collaboration also encourages the exchange of diverse perspectives, which can result in innovative solutions and increased productivity. Various tools and platforms can be utilized to facilitate seamless delegation and collaboration. <a href="https://www.pdf-tools.com/">Pdftools</a>, for instance, offer features for editing, sharing, and collaborating on PDF documents, streamlining document-based workflows. Project management tools like Trello or Asana provide features for assigning tasks, tracking progress, and facilitating team communication. Communication platforms like Slack or Microsoft Teams enable real-time messaging, file sharing, and video conferencing, enhancing collaboration among team members. These tools and platforms streamline delegation and collaboration processes, enhancing productivity by providing a centralized space for task management, communication, and collaboration. Overall, delegation and collaboration are valuable strategies for maximizing productivity. By leveraging team strengths, assigning tasks efficiently, fostering effective communication, and utilizing appropriate tools or platforms, individuals and teams can optimize their productivity, achieve better results, and promote a collaborative and efficient work environment. <h2>Continuous Learning And Skill Development</h2> Ongoing learning is directly linked to improved productivity, as it allows individuals to acquire new skills, stay updated with industry trends, and adapt to evolving technologies and practices. Upskilling is crucial for enhancing productivity, as it enables individuals to develop new competencies relevant to their roles. By acquiring additional skills, employees can take on more challenging tasks, increase efficiency, and contribute to the organization's overall success. Staying updated with industry trends is essential in today's fast-paced business landscape. By keeping abreast of the latest developments, individuals can identify emerging opportunities, anticipate changes, and adapt their work approaches accordingly. This proactive mindset helps maintain productivity by ensuring that work aligns with current industry demands and best practices. It is vital to foster a culture of <a href="https://www.4cornerresources.com/blog/continuous-learning-in-workplace/">continuous learning</a> within the workplace. When organizations encourage and support employees in their pursuit of knowledge and skill development, it cultivates an environment that values growth and innovation. This, in turn, boosts productivity by inspiring individuals to seek improvement and explore new ideas constantly. Encouraging employees to participate in cross-functional projects or job rotations can broaden their skill sets and enhance productivity through diverse experiences. Mentoring programs, where experienced employees guide and support their peers, foster knowledge sharing and skill development within the organization. Furthermore, organizations can establish internal knowledge-sharing platforms. These include intranets or online communities, where employees can exchange ideas, share insights, and learn from each other's experiences. Organizations can create a culture that values continuous development by emphasizing the connection between ongoing learning and improved productivity. By upskilling, staying updated, and fostering a learning culture, employees can enhance their productivity, contribute more effectively to their roles, and drive innovation within the organization.

In today's fast-paced world, productivity is the lifeblood of success in the workplace. It determines the efficiency, effectiveness, and overall output of individuals and teams

Regardless of the chosen approach, an effective office fitout can transform the workspace, bolster employee engagement, and enhance a company's brand image. Beyond these, a well-thought-out space can lead to cost efficiencies in the long term. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Preparation Phase</h2>Starting with a clear vision is paramount in the fitout process. Identifying your organization's needs and objectives helps in shaping this vision. This could mean understanding how many workstations you require, what kind of meeting spaces you need, or how you want your brand to be represented in your office environment.With objectives outlined, it's time to assemble a capable team. You could mobilize an internal team comprising individuals from various departments, or you could hire a professional fitout service with expertise in this domain. The latter often comes with industry-specific insights and experience, ensuring a smooth transition from the existing state to your dream workspace.Budgeting is a critical step in the preparation phase. Establishing a realistic budget helps you to align your fitout goals with financial constraints. It includes costs for construction, furniture, technology, and sometimes, unforeseen expenses. A well-planned budget can prevent financial surprises down the line.It's also essential to understand any building regulations and permissions that might apply to your office fitout. Ensure you're compliant with local building codes and regulations and obtain necessary permissions from relevant authorities. Doing so can help avoid legal complications and ensure the safety of your workspace. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Design Phase</h2>As you embark on the design phase, incorporate your brand and office culture into the plan. This could mean using brand colors in the decor, creating spaces that encourage your company's style of collaboration, or displaying company values in shared spaces. An office environment that echoes your company culture can foster a sense of belonging among employees.Space planning plays a significant role in the design phase. A well-designed office layout not only ensures efficient use of space but can also facilitate better communication, <a href="https://www.thehumancapitalhub.com/articles/four-different-ways-to-foster-a-positive-team-culture-and-why-team-culture-matters-so-much">encourage collaboration</a>, and enhance overall workflow. It's crucial to consider factors like natural light, noise levels, and traffic flow in your space planning efforts.The design phase also presents an opportunity to involve employees in the process. After all, they are the ones who will be using the space daily. Collecting their ideas and feedback can lead to a design that caters to their needs and comfort, thus boosting morale and productivity.Lastly, consider future growth and adaptability in your design. As your business evolves, your office space should be able to accommodate these changes. Whether it's potential team expansion, technological upgrades, or changes in work patterns, a forward-thinking design can save you from frequent disruptive renovations in the future. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Construction Phase</h2>Once the design is ready, it's time to bring your vision to life. To do this, you need a team of reliable contractors who can deliver quality work on time. When choosing contractors, consider their experience, previous projects, and reviews from past clients. This helps ensure a successful transformation of your office space.With construction underway, continuous monitoring is crucial. Regular check-ins and site visits can help catch any issues early, ensuring that the project stays on track. This also provides an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to the fitout plan.Project management plays a significant role during construction. A dedicated project manager can coordinate with various stakeholders, keep track of the timeline, manage the budget, and ensure that all parts of the project are aligning seamlessly. Effective project management can help prevent delays and cost overruns, leading to a smoother fitout process. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Final Touches</h2>As the construction phase wraps up, it's time for the final touches. One of the key tasks is installing IT and communication systems. This includes setting up computers, telephones, network infrastructure, and any other technology your team uses. Ensuring a smooth IT setup is vital for seamless operations once the new office is in use.Next, the right furniture needs to be selected and arranged. Consider pieces that complement your office design and culture, and most importantly, offer comfort and functionality. Furniture placement should align with your space planning to maximize efficiency and ease of movement.Lighting, HVAC systems, and other environmental considerations are critical to creating a comfortable workspace. Natural light can boost mood and productivity, while an efficient HVAC system ensures a comfortable climate throughout the year. Furthermore, consider aspects like indoor plants for improving air quality and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your office.Lastly, the importance of safety measures and ergonomics cannot be overstated. Ensure that all safety regulations are met, emergency exits are clearly marked, and ergonomic guidelines are followed when setting up workstations. This will contribute to a safer, healthier, and more comfortable environment for your team, potentially reducing workplace injuries and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/04/21/four-factors-that-affect-employee-productivity/?sh=5d2d364311a0">boosting productivity</a>. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Post-Fitout&nbsp;</h2>After completion of the office fitout, the next stage involves relocating operations to the newly transformed space. Ensuring a smooth transition can minimize disruptions to business activities. This period also allows employees to settle in and familiarize themselves with their new environment.It's beneficial to provide training for employees to effectively use the new environment. This could be as simple as orienting them about the new layout, safety exits, and technology systems or even explaining the rationale behind specific design choices. The goal is to enable employees to harness the potential of their new workspace.Once settled, an evaluation of the fitout becomes necessary. This involves gathering feedback from employees, reviewing the project against initial objectives, and identifying areas of improvement. The feedback process is crucial in understanding the impact of the fitout and making any needed adjustments.Finally, it's important to plan for future maintenance or potential changes. Regular upkeep helps keep the office space looking its best and functioning efficiently, while having a plan for potential changes ensures your office can adapt as your business needs evolve. <h2 style="text-align: justify;">In Summary</h2>An office fitout is more than just a redesign of space; it's a strategic tool that can drive productivity, employee satisfaction, and brand image. Whether you opt for a traditional fitout or a custom office design, the key lies in thoughtful planning, effective execution, and continuous evaluation.A well-executed office fitout not only creates a conducive workspace for your team but also lays a physical foundation for your business to thrive and grow. Investing in a quality office fitout could be one of the best decisions an organization makes for its future.

An office fitout is more than just a redesign of space; it's a strategic tool that can drive productivity, employee satisfaction, and brand image.

How Mastering Good Writing Skills Will Help You In Your Future

Investors in recent years have started to look more closely at the sustainability of a company, as this has become such an important part of business and life. With aims for carbon-neutrality set out by governments and the EU by 2050, it is more important than ever before that a business understands its responsibilities to promote sustainable activities and processes, and that investment is channeled&nbsp;into the right areas for a greener future and a significant reduction in a company’s carbon footprint that isn’t just paying lip service in a ‘green washing’ way.​Professional <a href="https://greenomy.io/">ESG reporting software</a> and advice and guidance from specialists in the field is a robust approach that should be taken to implement a data analysis and careful planning for future processes that match the needs of a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive business practice.&nbsp;Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is a way of screening potential investments based on the policies of the organization. It encourages companies to act in a more responsible fashion that takes care of the future in terms of the environment and the people. How do you measure the ESG efforts of your company though? How do you make sure you are heading in the right direction and can correct course successfully if you find that you are not?&nbsp;<h2>Key metrics for ESG efforts</h2>With investors paying closer attention to the ESG efforts of companies, it is more important than ever before to understand key metrics and learn how best to measure your ESG efforts as a company.&nbsp;<h2>Reduction in carbon footprint</h2>This has become a standard metric that has made its way into everyday parlance, and with good reason. If a company <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/guides/year-of-living-better/how-to-reduce-your-carbon-footprint">reduces its carbon footprint</a> it can help to slow climate change and limit damage to the environment. But it has to be done in a cohesive, genuine way, across the board. This could include the choice of a renewable energy provider for the entire company, reducing travel for business meetings, and implementing a hybrid work system with less need for office space to be used by every member of staff, at all times. <h2>Energy efficiency</h2>This could be one of the easiest ways to measure ESG and can demonstrate a relatively quick and easy way to improve your results. The idea is to complete the same tasks that you currently do but using less energy to do so. There are some small and simple changes that can be quickly implemented that help to achieve this, such as installing energy-saving lightbulbs throughout your premises, unplugging equipment and turning off lights when not in use or out of work hours, and other small processes.&nbsp;<h2>Improve health and safety standards</h2>It is important that you maintain high levels of health and safety to ensure that your employees are safe from harm and that staff morale remains high and consistent as a result. Every staff member wants to know that their place of work is safe and that their employer cares about them. Investors who see a happy workplace with low staff turnover, low rates of accidents, and a high safety standard all round are much more likely to be impressed.&nbsp;<h2>Safety of products and services</h2>ESG also means impressing with standards of your products and services. Accurately tracking product recalls and having robust processes to look after customers and to minimise risks is an important aspect of building trust and running an ethical company. It shows that you care about your customers and your staff to have strong processes to deal with product safety.&nbsp;<h2>Diversity and inclusion</h2>Diversity and inclusion are desirable from the top down, with a diverse board of directors a great show of strength that a company really means business. This makes it much more likely that diversity is genuinely cherished within recruitment. A company can promote diversity and inclusion through recruitment at all levels of the business, with clear avenues of promotion for every person in the company, regardless of background.&nbsp;<h2>Does ESG tracking work for all businesses?</h2>Investing in ESG, even if only in a small-scale way to begin with and implementing accurate ESG reporting software, is achievable for small companies, not just large companies with big resources. It can have a positive impact on a business and help to connect with like-minded businesses and investors as you scale.&nbsp;ESG reporting software from a company with the same ethos of delivering sustainable practices and processes and understanding the need for <a href="https://greenomy.io/blog/carbon-neutrality-eu-taxonomy">carbon-neutrality</a> in the coming years, will help you get to where you want to be and show you how to maximise the processes inherent within your organisation to ensure a clear pathway to ESG success. Finding that expertise to have by your side as you make this journey makes it a much more plausible endeavour and one which your entire team can get behind, whether you are looking for potential future investment or not.
