After a lot of back and forth discussion, and not really getting through to him, I finally said, “If perfection is your goal, then you’re always going to be disappointed,” especially in baseball, where failing 7 out of 10 times at the plate is considered excellent. Don’t confuse excellence with perfection,” I told my son, words of advice that I repeat to myself tonight. Was Apple striving for perfection or excellence with those products?

Typically companies operated in silos, but according to a recent Global Supply Chain Institute at the University of Tennessee survey, while some lines between business functions have blurred, silos still exist, especially between purchasing and logistics.

So what’s wrong with Excel?
