Very kind of you to say, Seamus.… thanks.
Although, the word is spreading about Thingamy well enough… don’t want the virus to spread faster than we can keep up with it

Aha! Walked straight into the trap you did…
I never use, write, say CEO, thingamy have no C-level’s, nor A,B,D,E…levels. Only ZZZ level when I have my daily horisontal-level siesta!
As you know thingamy-the-system does not require a hierarchy in your organisation (thingamy structures and delivers the workflows, the task and raison d’etre for hierarchies) and thus no titles — just functions. So why would we have any?
p.s. My card says “Man: Sigurd Rinde” because the other lines says “Mail:..” and “Phone:…” etc

Morning Hugh! I love the thingamy business card cartoon as it powerfully and elegantly communicates volumes about the possibilities for any organization when using thingamy. In this sense, very effective communications. At the same time, the message must be seen by the CEO as s/he might begin thinking about the current complexity and expenditures levels relative to IS/IT within their organizations. The CTOs may find thingamy a threat to their existing status quo. I strongly believe an effective integrated marketing and sales plan could be built around the “30 megs to run your business” concept.
