I Measure, Therefore I Am!
by Gianni Catalfamo| February 17, 2012
The engineer speaking: “What you cannot measure does not exist.” It’s hard enough when someone else is telling you this, imagine how hard it is for me, having my marketeer brain argue with my engineer brain (half of each, don’t worry)!
