Information for informal business “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 yourself and the crowd – is to do an outstanding job with information. How to gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose.” Bill Gates Chairperson, Microsoft the Speed of Thought
