Interesting to read Rod Oram’s editorial in the SST yesterday. Specifically his comments that our laggardly performance in terms fo GDP growth may possible\y be due to “failure of ambition, management skills and strategy” in our businesses. I’d go further and say that one of the core reasons for our lack of performance are these very issues. Something that (hopefully) the EDANZ conference this week may address. I’ll report back on whether it does or not!
