you're name is familiar from my time at Enterprise Technology Research (ETR) - I recently left the firm and excited to be with Pulse.Anyways, sorry to hear that you had to downsize staff, mistakenly I didn't include that as an option here... but if you have anything to chime in further I'm sure your additional peers on Pulse would appreciate it!

Speed kills (NTSB proves that all the time) - businesses need velocity. Velocity is speed with control - meaning direction/focus. Best way to increase velocity - get rid of "time vampire" people, processes, and technology and get a real leader. They will generate velocity to execute and deliverContent you might like

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
- caught you chiming on twitter for this as well. Grateful if you have anything to have for the network on Pulse.
