Commentary: Business Lessons from the Broncos Blowout

Management, Strategy /

Most of the sporting (and betting) world expected the Denver Broncos to beat the Seattle Seahawks in this year’s Super Bowl. Seattle was expected to put up a good fight, with the end result a close game between the team with the best offense in the league and the team with the best defense.

None of that came to be.

This commentary looks at how businesses can learn from the Denver Broncos' loss in the Super Bowl.
