If there is an industry somewhere that is magically shielded from competition, then perhaps they don't need to move to high performance. But if I were them, I would do it anyway, because sooner or later everyone has competition. I also want to make the point that the words 'high performance' should not scare anyone off. Some units are still more old-fashioned. The important point is that all of Corning's units have a goal to be high performance over time.
Continuous improvement is the name of the game.
High performance, like quality, is a journey not a destination. Everyone can make the trip. Let me summarize. There are three key points I hope everyone will take away from this. First, national skill standards are voluntary.
