It’s good but not great.

This afternoon I was reading some articles about Australia’s Digital Competitiveness, what we are doing well and what we are lacking. It got me thinking… Australia, the land of sunshine, stunning beaches, and… well, sometimes questionable internet speeds… is the “lucky country” truly keeping up in the digital race?

The game of business is not about finishing. It is about finding and continuously delivering value to customers.
