5. Form learning partnerships with suppliers, distributors, and customers - set up feedback mechanisms such as focus groups, R&D joint ventures and customer survey mechanisms.

6. Have all positions applied for and include outsiders in our recruitment drive – only appoint the best in their field and avoid the all to familiar ‘best of a bad bunch’ in times of competence shortages.

7. Benchmark our culture against other entrepreneurial firms – seek ways to understand key success factors for the market leaders in our field and study the oppositions’ successes.

8. Set up a readily accessible knowledge bank and ‘experience’ network of mentors, gurus and experts in their field.

9. Celebrate and recognize attempts to learn by employees who take a market risk and publicise within our organization by initiating fast real world feedback mechanisms.
