The missing link is the fit between a successful product and the organization that must build, sell, support, and scale it. Norbert makes this visible — and fixable.
Innovation rarely fails because of technology. It fails because organizations cannot scale around it fast enough. With limited resources and often only one opportunity to succeed, leaders face a true make-or-break moment. The Missing Link reveals how to bridge that gap — and turn innovation into lasting value.
