5 MIN

“We were hearing loud and clear from our customers that they wanted us to perform better,” said Ray Oge, the vice president of sales and trading for GP Recycling.
The team needed to close the gap between what they were accomplishing and what they could be accomplishing if they were fully applying our principle-based framework. So, they turned to the five dimensions.
