World Class Rugby
kicks off with a
KIWI EDGE
 




Many restructure or modernise their management to match the strict ISO Certification require-ments.  They’re the businesses who are investing today - in tomorrow’s players.

And, in true Rugby style, they remain competitive.  They’re the winners.  They’re World Class and ready to do business with the world and, if necessary, without the haka.

Hosting the World Cup Rugby 2011 event in New Zealand
will be an achievable and undoubted World Class success.

Our congratulations to the presentation team for their skills and considerable preparation.

It has been said that in Tana Umaga’s “stadium of 4 million people” there are 2 million people wanting to be All Blacks. The rest want to marry one!

Rugby and rugby teams throughout the country have long supported, bred and fed a friendly but fiercely competitive kiwi environment.  Even the non-enthusiast tends to happily endorse the New Zealand-style of determination to match, or better, each competitive challenge.

In Auckland, and in each of the regional centres, the building of the infrastructure, the transport and the hosting facilities required for the 2011 Rugby Cup will be a task requiring considerable support, investment and effort from each community.

Long-term vs short-term benefit debates will inevitably re-enact the competitive dialog, riposte, argument and indecision we saw in the sail-up to the 2000 and 2003 America’s Cup challenges held in Auckland.

But the America’s Cup too, was a proven Kiwi success.   A $1.3 billion Kiwi success for New Zealand.

Winning the 2011 Rugby Cup event for New Zealand was a finely honed team Kiwi effort.

In the background, the Government was actively demonstrating it’s cornerstone business assistance strategy to help create business winners through the strengthening of international connections.

The player and team competitiveness of Rugby has filtered through to all levels of New Zealand society.

In every community, in every town, in every city, there’s one business specialist who stands out from the crowd.

They’re probably Rugby players but, more importantly, they’re the businesses who have earned the respect of their fellow players and the customer teams.  They’re the businesses who have been willing to take that extra step to give better products and services.

Many businesses planning to stand out from the crowd line-up with the ISO process to achieve a truly global status. They submit themselves to comprehensive inspection and rigorous assessment.
They re-train and re-educate their staff and systems.
