It’s a shame our industry is exclusively sales-oriented and not business planning or market development oriented. How many senior leaders even have MBAs? We haven’t met one.

It would be useful to have market sizing and market share data, just at the most basic business planning and analysis level. Intuitively, we sense growth but we don’t know if these “green shoots” represent a single “plant” or a new market/“ecosystem.”

Another business model trying to address the problem of economies of scale using outsourcing.

I agree with the premise, but remained challenged by what the clients, with the assets, are willing to pay.

I hope Siver Creek solves that!
