| The BIG print: |
| We know that most of what follows seems business jargon and waffling |
| Good old human talk and conversation can transform this jargon into meaning |
| Such is the human nature, not even the color red is red for everyone until it is |
| Thefore we propose we use this collection of jargon terms as a launchpad |
| And let's talk, let's meet up, talk about how we can work for each other |
| The not too obvious need: |
| Experienced, highly specialised, multiskilled technical input at board or high executive level |
| Wether in business as usual or in projects, proven technical expertise for decision making is a necessity |
| High level decision makers must technically question, understand and be proactive in their work |
| Today it's a necessity to identify, grow to trust and to efficiently utilise a highly skilled technician |
| Success arrives where technical knowledge and decision making powers symbiotically coexist |
| Factual reality shows that an individual very rarely has sufficient technical competence and decision making skills |
