When I used to go to London often and ride the Underground, the constant
refrain seen was "Mind The Gap". Mind the Gap or you could suffer some
unmentionable and clearly gruesome fate. As Online software service

businesses, they would do well to mind these three gaps:
The "It's Not Your Time" gap The "It's Not My Job" gap The "Window Shopping"
