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 |
|
