I'm baaack...

Ever feel like everything stops during budget season? Like an TV episode of Flash Forward only instead of losing consciousness for 137 seconds its more like a month - the only difference? The rest of the world has been ticking right on by reagrdless of the budget induced paralysis. So, while you're planning the future and submitting projections which in this uncertainty is pretty much professional guestimation - the current world has been moving along without you. Jack Welch spoke at a Front End of Innovation event a few years ago, and he talked about his disbelief in budget - but a strong belief in beating prior year. For all those partners, clients, colleagues and friends - here's to beating this year - next year. I look forward to joining the present again face to face at The Market Research Event next week at the Red Rock in Las Vegas. What a great way to rejoin the rest of the population.
