Organizations find out what they’re really made of in the toughest of times. No one knows that more than Ferdinand Storp, general manager of drom fragrances.

It was a healthy [experience] because we rethought everything, every process and detail, which you don’t do if things go well. On paper, everything looks very easy.”
