Race is about winning, competition is about finding who and where you are. In a race there are winner and loosers, in competition there are actually only winners. When we compete, we test our capabilities in the open so that we could know what to improve in the future. In this logic, we already win because we conquer our fear of not being perfect or good enough. We win because many people probably afraid to do what we are doing.
This ia similar in organization. More often, in applying for award or international standards, the motivation is to win, not to measure how the organization currently perform with other similar organization. It is much more easy to enter a race for winning: only join when you could win, do not join if you knew you will loose. However, if you knew you already win, why you want to join the race?
