Whichbold actions should you urgently take to propel change and stay ahead ofcompetition?

We believe the greatest challenge forcompanies today is not keeping up with their competitors, but with their own customers. Business used to be about getting customers to do what you wantedthem to do. But, customers don’t accept this anymore. They don’t like to betold what to do. They want relationships based on reciprocity, transparency andauthenticity.

We began this company with nothing morethan a pocket full of dreams and it still takes us by surprise to see how farwe have come. We want to drive the market – we don’t want to be driven by it! Ourguiding principle is: Change the market before it changes you. We have beenchanging the products, processes, customer’s expectations along with theirmindsets at an amazingly rapid pace. But, there are a few focus points whichwill never change, be it our commitment towards customers, or our passion fortechnology, our determination for quality and excellence, or our primaryconcern for the planet.
