Becoming World Class?

To BE world-class means understanding what world-class is. To get there requires a complete understanding of the world around you and seeing how others do it differently. Indeed, people and companies may think they’re good! But if they’re not looking beyond themselves, and understanding what the competition is doing, then they’ll never really know.

 

The only way to know you’re world class is by constantly looking at what your competitors are doing. -Craig Picken
