We are often known as the quiet achievers and the Americans as brash (present company excepted!) Except perhaps Steve Irwin who was a positive anomally. It's becoming interesting to see clients and customers of mine who have chosen vendors who are more passionate these days, a few years back they would have stayed away in droves! So as we grow and develop as a nation so to do our values and beliefs. M Munroe, I like that OHS should be under sustainability it makes perfect sense!

M Munroe, I like that OHS should be under sustainability it makes perfect sense!

Often it's the passion that gets someone into something in the first place. I often make note of those who are passionate about what they do when I buy goods and services from others. There are a lot of people out there doing lousy work because they aren't passionate about it. And, because they have no passion, they really don't care that their work is lousy. Keeping passion in mind may be a good idea when choosing vendors. "Are They Passionate About Their Business?" If they are — then all else being equal — you'll likely get better service or a better product. Warm Regards, Michael Dear Steve,

We got caught big time on a new business, got sued by an employee over an OHS issue. We went bust on that one, and got burnt very badly. But we are now in back in business, very carefully does it this time. Yes a good list, but add in OHS under sustanability.
