New Zealanders are working. The economy is growing. So why aren’t we getting much more out of it? For more than a decade, New Zealand’s productivity growth has been painfully weak – and that could be one of the biggest economic problems facing the next Government.

Whatever your engineers built, someone can replicate it. The real moat, the one that actually protected Salesforce and the one we built at Terminus, was never the product. In this video I break down the three things that replace product as your competitive advantage: category, community, and system. If you can't name your moat in those terms, you don't
