Automation Leverage in Turnaround Strategy

Automation Leverage in Turnaround Strategy Turnaround work is often described as a crisis discipline: reduce costs, preserve cash, stabilize operations and buy time.

eBay is laying off 9 percent of its workforce

Hopefully LinkedIn's new AI-powered categorization tool will come in handy for those in need.
