“I have a simple but strong belief. The most
meaningful way to differentiate your company from
your competition, the best way to put distance
between you and the crowd is to do an outstanding
job with information. How you gather, manage, and
use information will determine whether you win or
lose. There are more competitors. There is more
information available about them and about the
market, which is now global. The winners will be the
ones who develop a world-class digital nervous
system so that information can easily flow through
their companies for maximum and constant
learning.”
- Bill Gates
