The trick is the willingness to bow wave up investment in a few key areas knowing you can de-invest in other less scalable models as the projects mature. This is where many projects stall...if you want ROI in 90 days (which is the scope of most business scorecards) then you are in trouble. You're unlikely to see it that quickly - you have to take the longer term view. This is a big part of the focus for the working I'm doing now. Thanks for the conversation. sean well, I certainly think this is a great starting point.
