Surveys.... sigh

I think it will be hard for any manager to say anything other than "yeah we're not there yet, we need to be more proactive etc." when asked "are you equipped to to respond to market or customer changes quickly enough to compete well in a global marketplace?"

Right. Unclear/vague/multi-interpretable words like
- equipped
- market changes
- customer changes
- respond quickly
- to compete "well"
- "global marketplace"

Sigh. That covers just about any and all imaginable relevant or not-so-relevant factor in any business, well, to some (or more) degree [add disclaimer etc.].

Over time, 80% of all managers (that's the only constant over time - and it really depends on their personality) will say the same to these type of fuzzy questions. So the survey results will always stay the same. In 1980, 1990, 2000, 2009 etc.

Then the twist. Follow the money. Solution? "real time info" ----> IT needed! presto. There we are.
