http://www.thebiggertruth.com/2008/02/random-thoughts-2/ Welcome to the bigger truth! I'll try to add some context around "how" or "why" things might mean more than meets the eye.

And I enjoyed your keynote very much. Made me remember what my purpose is in this business is. I guess I was caught up in all the political hassle you have at big companies (in Netherlands anyway). Things that hit me most are. 1) I completely forgot the purpose of ICT (namely to save money or make help you make more money on same resources) 2) I wasn't thinking as much out of the box as i thought I was. 3) As a IT professional I am able to downscale my answers to normal users so they understand what I explain to them, but I lack the understanding to look at the bigger picture (as from outer space). But your keynote helped me there, making me think. Hope to see/meet you again someday I found you very inspiring With kind regards, Martin Jansen I was at the IS-IT’s Vision and Focus event.
