We had Chinese for dinner and my fortune said, "Speed is not as important as accuracy.". When you think of speed what are the first things that come to mind? Fighter Jets?

Too often, we think we are innovating, when all we are doing is copying. We look at our competitors, seeing what drives their success and we copy them.

Or we may look at other successful organizations, assessing what they do, copying it with the hope of being as successful or better than they are.
