Since I own a large hunk of the company, I would be inclined to claim brilliance, but realistically I think my company is wavering between smart and idiotic. Then again, it may be because part of what we do is provide some close client support, and, frankly, a lot of the companies we work with are not on verge of winning any rewards. So, internally smart; but our world interface is suffering some.

I do believe recognising the weaknesses is a step toward being smarter.

In a less humourous vein, given the constant financial restatements of some of the companies I used to consider smart, perhaps finances is a weak way of measuring strength.
