Six Platforms of GIL
 In 2010, Frost & Sullivan focused on the Six Platforms of GIL. We utilized the Growth Diagnostic to help our partners investigate their internal and external challenges to growth, then prioritize them by the impact they’ll have on their companies. Corporate enlightenment.
Working with CEO Growth Teams, we nurtured teamwork, and a competitive and innovative spirit while identifying best in practice practices. Through GIL global events, we strove to teach more visionary skills so that each of us could be a little more visionary when we got back to our companies.
Borrowing the words of hockey visionary Wayne Gretsky, together we learned to “skate where the puck is going to be, not where it is now.” You are the visionaries; utilize the GIL Global community to network, facilitate teamwork and benchmark so you know best in class… and then, in 2012, aim beyond it.
Sincerely,
David Frigstad
