In the process there are several challenges that need to be addressed such as the development of a business and governance structure, succession plan and identification of additional revenue streams. And this has been the rationale behind using an independent experienced consultant such MTI so that an outside in perspective can be taken when addressing each of the above.” This strategic planning exercise which is based on MTI’s 8S Strategizing Model, was presented by MTIC CEO Hilmy Cader to the senior management of Analytical Instruments during the kickoff session.
