  • Tackling a Problem!

    1 Thought: The value of a good approach to solving a problem or challenge should not be overlooked. Problems are just that, problems, if you don’t slow down to understand their genesis, the impact it’s having currently, as well as its potential to grow. “A well defined problem is a problem half solved.” Adage attributed…

  • Nothin’ But NET!

    1 Thought: In the spirit of March Madness I was subliminally prompted to blog about something regarding a net I guess. The mind is a highly suggestible place.

  • Make the Implicit Explicit!

    1 Thought: By definition “making the implicit explicit” means to take something that is implied or suggested, but not directly stated, and clearly express it in words, removing any ambiguity or room for misinterpretation. Every day we will find ourselves on both ends of the spectrum, often receiving implied data that we “feel” we understand…
