"Being a successful entrepreneur requires more than hard work, it requires a new product or business concept to meet an untapped market need. A great idea, well executed, has the ability to create a sustainable business or even a significant entity that employs thousands of people. At the heart of all successful businesses are core building blocks that all businesses need. There are no short cuts for a great idea, strong systems and processes, and a digital core that streamlines and connects people, customers, operations, logistics, procurement and people." Frances Valintine (CNZM) CEO & Founder, AcademyEX
