“Research clearly shows, there is no other approach that can have the impact of differentiation.” To me, differentiation is a poorly defined fad that can’t fizzle out soon enough.

Making these sort of claims has to be very loosely supported by something. I’m very interested to find out what. I’ll have a look later. @MrZachG @greg_ashman hmhco.com/blog/benefits-…
