LinkedIn was founded in 2003, but let’s not forget that…

Look around the corporate landscape and you are bound to find a corporation, which has a department or a program called quality assurance or quality effectiveness.

One thing seems small, too small. I use to think I need to do a bunch of things to make a change happen.

I failed. I couldn't do all of these at once and ended up doing nothing.
