Send us Fan MailThere’s a particular kind of competitor that can be very intimidating.They have more money, more people, better technology, a bigger brand, and access to expertise you can't afford So the natural conclusion is: how do we compete with that? Perhaps that’s the wrong question.Because resources determine how much you can deploy. They don’t necessarily determine how quickly you can learn. A smaller team can try something on Monday, discover it doesn’t work on Tuesday, change it on Wednesday and try again on Thursday. A larger organisation may still be getting approval for the first experiment.Over time, those small cycles begin to compound. And after fifty such cycles, the smaller competitor may know something the larger competitor simply doesn’t.We often talk about competitive advantage in terms of what an organisation has — capital, talent, technology, distribution, data.Perhaps we should pay more attention to what an organisation does.How quickly does it turn experience into learning?Because when you can’t outspend your competition, there is still another possibility.You can outlearn them.Your friends and family can join our WhatsApp group to get copies of our videos. https://bit.ly/SW_WA_11For more #storiesatwork do have a look the playlists of stories on our website - https://bit.ly/SW_StoriesOur website has a video version of this story. https://storyworks.in/storybanks/Follow me on LinkedIn -->linkedin.com/in/i-am-ic
