OK. It’s official.
After refusing to be dragged into the Devil’s own game for several decades, I’ve finally got golf.
Those of you similarly afflicted will already be nodding sagely in a fraternal understanding of the world of challenge, frustration and occasional exultation that I’ve become ensnared in. And it is that occasional rush of success that makes the whole thing so worth while. That makes mastering, if only fleetingly, the complexities of the game and pulling off a soaring straight drive, a precise little chip shot, or an oh so satisfying long putt an absolute joy.
One thing I have learnt is to concentrate on the moment, and the shot in front of you, safe in the knowledge that the overall result will then look after itself. Dwell too long on what the final score will or might be will only end in tears. In golf, as in our business, it is only by focusing on succeeding in every complex shot, every complex task, that we reap the rewards.
For Intact, focusing on achieving excellence in every task we have taken on has indeed brought rewards to our business, and in turn to our customers and partners. This success, and the growth that has come along with it, was underlined at the beginning of March when we were able to announce that Intact has now become a direct subsidiary of Datatec Group, establishing us as a strong independent business, and eradicating any channel conflict concerns that may have existed under our previous structure.
We in Intact look forward to continuing to work with our partners to enhance their business, delight their customers, and continue to deliver complex solutions with the quality and value that have become our hallmarks.
Who knows, we might even find some time to work on our handicaps….
