About Arzu Consulting Services
Arzu Consulting Services believes that for a person or organization to grow, one must embrace change. Though not easy, change requires one to understand the internal and external forces that influence the decision making process. Once one gains the insight, then they and the organization can create a strategic plan for growth. After implementing the plan, the organization must honestly evaluate its progress, tweaking the plan to maximize potential. As in chess, an organization must make the best move.
