survival depends on change. To achieve sustainable
entrepreneurship then an ongoing sense of urgency must be created.
Company either innovates or falls behind.

Customer loyalties are fleeting; creating a “wow” experience for customers is impossible if we are not continually finding new and better approaches;
The gap between us and the competition is smaller than we think in those situations where we are ahead and is larger than we think in those situations where we are behind;

The firm could be out of business 24 months.
