Cut Through The Clutter – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

If you’ve ever been in business, or been employed by a company of more than 3 people, you’ll know that one of the hallmarks of every organization is well, organization. The best laid plans of small companies and big corporations  can easily get lost in the mess of daily duties and decisions. Being able to identify and execute your intentions clearly is a vital part of any  successful business.
