The 'value added' for most any company, tiny or enormous, comes from the Quality of Experience provided.
Tom Peters
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence - only in constant improvement and constant change.
Tom Peters
Quality involves living the message of the possibility of perfection and infinite improvement, living it day in and day out, decade by decade.
Tom Peters
If the other guy is getting better, then you'd better be getting better faster than the other guy is getting better... or you're getting worse.
Tom Peters
