Customers don't buy projects. They buy products and services. So let's focus on making products rather than projects. #productmanagement

800 restaurants created street side patios that transformed the city during covid. Today, the bureaucracy is back, onerous fees are back, and restaurant & bar owners are left in limbo, waiting. Summer is short. Note to Toronto Council: fix this. thestar.com/business/2023/05…

What makes you write a post in social media? Is it an inner desire to share something personal good/bad? Is it to stay visible in others feed? Is it to ask for something you want to get opinions from people you can't reach in person? #socialmedia #share #why

"The whole world is understaffed right now. Show appreciation for the ones that show up" I saw this sign today at St. Michael's hospital. I started thinking what might have triggered the need for that sign to be put up there. And I came up with a lot. At…lnkd.in/eiWsE9Yk
