Looking Outside
Looking outside one’s own industry has resulted in many remarkable innovations and disruptions. But all too often managers lack the mandate, authority, or confidence to make it work.

Overcoming the Challenges
With so much to gain from looking outside your industry, it’s a shame to let an opportunity slip by because of obstacles like these. Here’s how you can get past them:
Assemble an empowered team.
Provide strong leadership.
Prepare your sales pitch.
The core reason looking outside for strategic improvements doesn’t work more often is inertia. Doing what you’ve always done and in accordance with industry standards and expectations is far easier and more comfortable than looking into other industries.
This very fact affords you a potential competitive advantage — if you dare.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
