"I hate benchmarking. Benchmarking is Stupid. Why is it stupid? Because we pick the current industry leader, and then we launch a five-year program, the goal of which is to be as good as whoever was best five years ago five years from now. Which to me is not an Olympian aspiration"
~~ Tom Peters ~~
"To grow, companies need to break out of a vicious cycle of competitive benchmarking and imitation."
~~W. Chan Kim & Renee Mauborgne ~~
"You cannot be remarkable by following someone else who's remarkable." ~~Seth Godin ~~
"The reason it's so hard to follow the leader is this: the leader is the leader precisely because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken - so it's no longer remarkable when you decide to do it."
~~ Seth Godin ~~
