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’
