Lance was Founder & CEO of Markit – a company that started with a handful of employees in a barn in St Albans and grew into a $44 billion global leader in critical information, analytics, and solutions and culminated in one of the largest M&A deals in history with S&P Global.

Episode Takeaways:
Continuous improvement is non-negotiable for leaders.
Don’t be driven just by big transformations. Small consistent gains compound over time.
Innovation has no hierarchy. Good ideas can come from anywhere in the organisation
Excellence is a habit not episodic.
A bold vision requires relentless execution. A vision by itself is meaningless.
Measurement is critical for success and accountability.
Measure the pulse of your customers and people regularly. Happy people and happy customers equals a strong financial performance.
Being an entrepreneur requires extreme commitment, relentless focus and personal sacrifice. It's not for the faint hearted.
