Laurence Hart: What Constitutes Industry Leadership?

Laurence Hart – What Constitutes Industry Leadership?:

“People take their cue from the actual Leader. In the Content Management industry, it is usually the vendor(s) that are being copied by other vendors and being brought-up in almost every pre-sales discussion.

[…] Pretenders: These are vendors that think they are leaders but aren’t perceived that way. The older the vendor, the more likely they are a Pretenders.

[…] You could have the best tech that money can develop, but if the world either doesn’t know about it or can’t seem to get it to work, it doesn’t matter. […] Leadership is about having the best vision, communicating on that vision, and delivering on that vision.

[…] This vision needs to be out there year-round, not when a new product release or annual conference takes place.”
