About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.
Either The Media Interviews Me Monday At Noon Or Its Off

The Most Important PR Secret
What most entrepreneurs and companies don't understand is that often the main job of the PR firm is to find the right story.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Breaking up, separation, and divorce can be devastating – but may also provide the opportunity for self-examination and a new beginning. There is nothing easy about ending a love relationship.
