This is another thing I notice quite frequently--too many technically gifted people can't express themselves and "sell" good ideas. No matter how technically superior a concept may be, you have to be able to understand and tie in concepts like operational/business risk and total cost of ownership. This means, yes, powerpoint. It may seem like b.s., but many of the guys making the decisions in the end are not stupid--for them these are perfectly valid criteria.
The reason you see so many technical stupidities being sold & implemented is because someone with little or no understanding of engineering reality was able to communicate the above ideas to "the business" well. Something to think about. -John [and now back under my rock] Fredy Kuenzler wrote: > John Morgan Salomon wrote: > >> CYA = cover your ass, cowardly & unimaginative management, that's all >> it is.
