It’s easy to look outside your own organisation, and have your head turned by others that seem like they’re doing better than yours.

In other words, you’ll gain no insights from the outside because you have no chance of looking in.
More important, there’s nothing worth seeing there anyway. If they do something brilliantly, and you copy them (which you probably can’t) all you’d ever be is a copy cat. And that’s no way to stand out and build a skippy team.
