FM World last week revealed the names of the pioneers of the facilities management sector. The winners have helped to create and steer the industry and have had a major impact on its development over the past 30 years.
I wonder who you would consider pioneers, not just in industry, but in general?
Richard Branson? Anita Roddick? Barack Obama? Michael Dell? Bill Gates? Tony Robbins? Deepak Chopra? Dalai Lama? Lance Armstrong? Steve Jobs?
What does pioneer mean? It's 'a person who is among those who first enter or settle a region, thus opening it for occupation and development by others', 'one who is first or among the earliest in any field of inquiry, enterprise, or progress: pioneers in cancer research' and 'one of a group of foot soldiers detailed to make roads, dig intrenchments, etc., in advance of the main body'.
As it's 11 November tomorrow, let's remember those who fought so that we could have peace. They may not have been pioneers in the true sense of the word, often just following orders, but to me they led the way.
