<description><![CDATA[Businesses waste too much time and money collecting data and producing reports that are either meaningless or obvious. You can't really forecast.

<description><![CDATA[The business schools are producing fools. Let's get American business moving again by fostering thinking. This can be done by creating your own, internal, MBA program. Why not? As tuition rises, many talented people cannot afford to go to school. You, your business and your staff have a great environment to produce real business thinkers. It can be done and it's not that hard. And the benefits are huge. Imagine having a team of 'true' MBAs at a fraction of the cost and 10 times the loyalty!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Competing with the wrong people may be seriously harming your business. Winning in the wrong situation does far more harm than good.

<description><![CDATA[Here's an important concept to teach your people. It's called "the curse of knowledge." It means that we, people in business, know more about our business than our customers. Because we know so much about our business, we are blinded by what our customers do not know.
