Seriously! It’s a genre I adopted - take ideas and concepts and explain them in stories that are for the most part true save names, dates and other trivial figures...

Who's your publisher? I need one for my autobiographical book, "I'm a Lesbian in a Man's Body".

If it is good enough for HBS its good enough for DPS!

ISO is so "90's", today its all about 'value contribution', 'reliability', 'cost avoidance' and 'value proposition'...

Oh ya, lets not forget GREEN.
