Corporate Amnesia: Why Companies Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes
We live in an age where access to knowledge is near-instant, but actual learning is rarer than ever. Companies pride themselves on being data-driven, yet they continue to fall for the same traps, recycle failed strategies, and rebuild broken systems with new labels.
