Onlineresurser: On 1 September 2009, as financial services firm Discovery Ltd was about to release its annual results for 2008/2009, CEO and founder Adrian Gore took some time to consider the company's trajectory since its inception 16 years ago. Discovery was now in the top 40 on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). That year's results were excellent: in the context of the global economic crisis, operating profit had grown by 32%. Still, Gore was not one to remain satisfied with these achievements. Now he wondered whether he had done enough to sustain that into the future, and what the next opportunity would be.
