KRCB North Bay Report re Minerva Project
A radio interview with two of the consultants affiliated with the Minerva Project.
From the Blogpost:
The message they're delivering is that "the field of philanthropy will become more strategic as a result of having weathered the crisis." Code for: we're going to get leaner and meaner; we'll see mergers; we'll see organizations…
For me, it says that I have to be very careful about what I say and...what I don't say. I'm working with a non-profit; totally dysfunctional Board. Doesn't show prudence in decision making; has a hard time making decisions. Can't talk to the ED. Do…

Your post title is "The Value of Lying" but when I click on the link, I see an article entitled "The Price of Lying." Seems like opposite meanings.
I'm a contrarian on this one, so I'm sticking with the "value of lying." A couple of example…
We see clients avoiding the truth -- what they tell us and what they tell others -- all the time. What's the price?

Silicon Valley Startup CEO Gets Existential
Does All This Stuff Really Matter, Contribute to a Greater Good?
Greed, capitalistic greed he calls it, the normal driver for technology startups and their investors, may be the hollow promise that it just might be. Waxing prophetic, in a rare moment, the CEO of a startup in Silicon Valley gets real with me and wonders aloud: what's the purpose of all of this? "This" being the drive towards bigger machines, more memory, more CPU power, more sophisticated graphics...

Consultants Are Humans, Too
What's Not Said Is Also Heard
I went to a workshop thing for Consultants yesterday. Organized and sponsored by the Institute of Management Consultants, the speaker, James O Rodgers, did a fine job of: 1) reminding us why we chose this profession, and; 2) how we can reinvigorate our thinking and attitudes to take advantage of this "down" market right now. You know, the old "don't give up hope" combined with "you can do it" anthem.

Workers: "Jittery and Compliant?" What About Consumers?
Reports of Highest Number of Tax Extensions
A short meeting with our Financial Advisor, Jerry (not his real name), on Friday, yielded some fascinating information about the behaviors of consumers, taxpayers. A few months ago, I posted a piece about workers being "jittery and compliant" but consumers are showing signs of stress from financial woes --- in a slightly different way.

Elena E. Paige said… - George, just letting you know again how grateful I am for all your help with my job search and your referrals. It’s very rare to meet people like you, who are willing to help a person they have not even met before. During the times of bad economy, when everybody is struggling to survive, you were still willing to offer something more than just advice. Your help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Elena.

- Dear Mr Moskoff,
I graduated from Cal State East Bay last year with an MBA degree in Finance and Strategic Management. I'm looking for an entry-level job opportunity, whether in the form of full-time job or temporary internship. My primary goal is to get experience in the areas that interest me the most. My interests lie in the areas of investments, business consulting and financial services. I believe that I possess high degree of creativity and excellent analytical abilities. I'm a fast learner and a fast performer.
My resume and formal cover letter are available upon request, and I will be grateful for any opportunities.
