TCS Highlights
TCS CEO Simon S. Mass wrote twice in Forbes this quarter. If you haven’t had a chance to read the articles, Simon talks about how to deal with and be flattered by copycats and one of the most important business concepts there is - building and maintaining a positive reputation.
At the end of the day, if someone takes the time to copy your work, it means that they have spent time looking at what you are doing and it has inspired them. You must have been successful for them to notice you and want to do the same thing or claim that they are in the same realm as you. The world is full of copying in terms of content. Every idea is borrowed, all or in part, by someone else, with or without them realizing it. There are very few totally unique ideas.
Reputation is everything. If you want a better business, you need to spend some time thinking about how to ensure your business looks different and get above the noise, especially if you're in a crowded sector like real estate. I believe it's your reputation that will set you apart.
Follow-up Story on the TCS Scholarship Program
At TCS, we continue to be extremely excited about the commitment we made to three Ontario institutions in the form of scholarships in their business schools. As we approach the time of year where the student recipients are named and we are able to celebrate those achievements, it was amazing to see out partner institutions featured and allow for the schools to talk about the programs and all the good coming out of those three business schools. Representatives from the University of Guelph and Ryerson University discussed their mandates and a little bit about the TCS scholarships.
