The other day I read an overview of a book containing advice from business leaders. Each person gave their 'top ten' keys to success. Almost all mentioned SPEED, and most placed it near the top of their list. I don't think Dell was interviewed, but his company seems quick to me. Cheers, PW. P.S. I think it was this weeks Economist magazine, but no guarantees.

John, re: investors frequently miss about Dell is how QUICKLY Dell learns from its mistakes... Speed for a small organization is not hard. For a large organization like Dell speed is a modern day e-miracle. Culture is part of the organization speed machine, but business processes (developed over years of focused improvement), electronic infrastructure, training, incentives, and e-tech-savy top and middle management are a few more required parts to a speed machine. Dell is driven at the pace of an IPO since day one. They have developed methods of building infrastructure (adding people and systems for a +50% compounded yearly growth). Speed to correct mistakes (new president of Dell Europe Legere), speed to take advantage of opportunities (Gigabuys, Dell-auction, Dell net, CPQ vulnerability to name a few). Alan Greenspan needs to look at Dell to see the revolutionary future of the American economy- inflation get out of the way. Mike
