Today the small, nimble, clever adaptor has the competitive advantage over their bigger, slower moving, 'we've-always-done-it-this-way' competitors; but the confluence of the Web environment and digital technology is one thing, how to use it effectively is another.

And secondly, we’ve all been let down so much by these false promises that when we hear a list of benefits we just start looking for the catch. Watch Grant Leboff explode the myth and introduce the alternatives — you’ll never try and sell the benefits again”
