Making a Change Requires Some Tension

We have always been big believers that most change occurs as a result of some “pain”. While we all would like to create change in our lives for positive reasons, and we certainly do at times, a good deal of “major” changes in business and personal lives come about as a result of pain or some “tension” in our lives. It’s the old aspirin vs. vitamins story. We know we should take vitamins; they are good for us right? But, if you have a really bad headache or muscle ache you are most likely going to take something for it more [...]

Products that get adopted keep it simple! Vendors that make them, look and listen.

Over the past few weeks I have been doing a lot of work with both vendors, brokers and agents evaluating different technologies.

We think we know better. We understand all of the complex features that need to be included in websites, and [...]
