Some thoughts…<br />
• Be a quality service provider<br />
• Focus on continuous improvement<br />
• Join a <strong>network</strong> of quality-driven peers<br />
• Don’t just focus on the money – unless you are a<br />
purely profit-driven operation<br />
• Look for the development angle as this will give you<br />
credibility in your region, and access to funding from EU<br />
sources<br />
• When internationalising, look at the ‘whys’<br />
• Don’t just focus on how to soft-land, also help your clients<br />
understand the implications of going global<br />
• Be acquainted with the current trends<br />
• See how you can integrate acceleration programmes into<br />
your business-as-usual<br />
• But beware of ‘bandwagons’
