Izkoristiti moramo celoten potencial in v pripravo in izvedbo strategij vključiti tudi partnerje in zaposlene. Poslovna strategija je največkrat podcenjena aktivnost podjetja, kjer sodelujejo le nekateri, namesto, da bi jo odprli in uporabili več deležnikov. Podjetja bi postala bolj vključujoča in uspešnejša v uresničevanju svojega potenciala.
