"The ability to embrace change is essential to success in any profession. Organizations and people today must be aware of external influences affecting their business and react to these changes or be left behind. They must also be open to new ways of thinking and new approaches to product development or services."
- William J. O’Neill Jr., Dean, Sawyer Business School
