I can’t tell you just how impressed I am with the X Factor. It’s not the competition itself that blows me away, it’s how the events management, production and marketing comes together to be, without doubt, the best there is, period.

A lot of that excellence comes from Syco TV. Every week I watch Syco TV do their magic and tonight’s X Factor final was simply jaw dropping; how good that must be for all attendees. If I could invest in Syco TV then I would of done it a long time ago and faster than I can blink.

I am sure there is something to be learned here and I’m thinking it simply comes down to the idea that if you want to give the best experience then you MUST demand exceptional teamwork and you MUST MUST MUST hire exceptional people.
