The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 PM.

People, like any other asset need to be groomed, possessed, professed with improvement impetus, influenced and motivated continually for yearning out best of the best performances.

Defining a ‘world class’…. has been a crazy idea.

A simple business Definition is:
Goods, services, and processes that are ranked by customers and industry-experts to be among the best of the best. This designation denotes standard-setting excellence in terms of design, performance, quality, and customer satisfaction and value when compared with all similar items from anywhere in the world.
better still:
• A general term for a high level of competitive performance as defined by benchmarking and use of best practices.

• organizations that are recognized as the best for at least one critical business process and are held as models for other organizations.
(www.gao.gov/special.pubs/bprag/bprgloss.htm)
