Got a familiar sense of déjà vu when starting computer organizer today. Gone are the days of paper diaries and notes. As tradition demands, typed ultra secret password into system, and work tasks, deadlines and alarms came pouring in. So much for digital innovation, simply clicked the ignore button a few times and everything has been delayed for a couple of weeks. Procrastination was masterfully embedded in my DNA almost three decades ago, and a piece of software is not going to change what nature so beautifully fashioned.
If procrastination was an art form, with such amazing tal...... Read More

Just called upon an old contact that works at a marketing department for a favour. She works for one of the major car brands, which will remain anonymous. I’ve helped her out several times in the past. She said she didn’t do favours. That’s like a mechanic saying he doesn’t do services. She said a favour was a very delicate thing and that she didn’t owe me anything.

I've been a little startled by all the commotion surrounding the latest automotive bribe news. With prestige suspects like Faurecia, Draxlmaier, Lear, Intier, Grammer, BMW, VW, etc it surely is an attraction, but shocking? The situation comes across from the media as shock horror! It’s not like people within the industry didn’t know it was happening. Everyone was/is doing it. Bribes and long term relationships maintain the automotive wheel turning - as with any industry.

The automotive industry is definitely a dog-eat-dog world. This is due mainly to outside interference, and predominantly driven by profit-hungry investors. Traditionally armed with their favourite secret weapons under the disguise of due diligence investigations – these weapons inflict maximum damage to willing participants. One thing is for sure if I was the CEO of a major vehicle manufacturer or automotive supplier, which I am not, I would be very wary of allowing financial vultures to spy my nest. For the time being let’s hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Or at least not ...... Read More
