Excalibur is the legendary sword of King Arthur and the symbol we have selected to represent the essence of the Global War on Error. In Robert de Boron’s book Merlin, Arthur obtained the throne by pulling a sword from a stone, an act that could not be performed by anyone except "the true king." It is our philosophy that everyone fights most effectively with weapons ideally suited to them as an individual - be that the sword of a king, the sling of a shepherd boy facing a giant named Goliath, or you and I facing the challenges of day-to-day life. All GWOE programs anchor on this point – that the War on Error is won one heart and mind at a time. In another Arthurian legend, Excalibur is said to be engraved with the words “one edge to defend” on one side of the steel blade – and “one edge to defeat” on the other. We agree that to effectively combat error - the eternal enemy of performance - individuals and organizations must play both offense and defense at all levels of the fight. We pursue this line of attack throughout all GWOE products and services.
Human error is the thief of human
happiness and the slayer of dreams,
careers, potential, and all too frequently - life itself. Viewing it as anything less hostile is to willfully expose your throat
to the knife.
