As real as it gets Bert – it’s the result of the 2004 elections.

Real world event, BongV? That’s speculation, perhaps Personal Responsibility to you?

Too much work for the same result,

I disagree on having the same results.

Let’s take a real-world event:

Given FPJ, Gloria, and Roco – people choose Gloria, followed by FPJ – there was another alternative – who had integrity and can deliver.

People don’t do the work, then they get the leaders they deserve.

Too much work for the same result, BongV. Primer can still transform himself into a Gloria.

You can never tell what a politician will do after winning the election. Unless you are God. And we both don’t believe in God, heheh.

Gutfeel, BongV, gutfeel.

If they run a P1 billion peso operation and yet what people see are only a number of large garbage receptacles in some randomly selected highways or roads and hanged tarpaulins like clouds above your heads, then we know that people have been shortchanged.

One year and more in a billion peso funded activity, your imagination can run wild.

Who has the final authority to approve or disapprove? Who has the authority to sign the check? In certain B2B sales engineering approaches – said person is the Economic Buyer.

The users evaluating the proposals for suitability are the Technical Buyers.

The consultants who can sway a choice are Influencers.

Each of these players have their own personal “wins” – anything which makes the Buyer feel good about himself is a win aka what’s in it for them.

For the Economic Buyer it could be increasing efficiency.

For the Technical Buyer it could be scaleability and ease of use.

The process of identifying who the Economic Buyers, Technical Buyers, Influencers and what their respective wins is called covering your bases.

Note also that you have Internal and External customers. In this case, you have external customers. your PBAC colleagues are technical buyers, and the head of office is the Economic Buyer.

Identify their wins and sell your idea as something that helps them win.

That approach allows a lot of Global Fortune 500 companies generate billions of revenue.

And do they have any complaints about the people they voted into office? Was it worth selling their votes?

Bong,
Truth to tell, I am in the middle of a business meeting where I am also invited to just listen to the proposal of IT companies who will automate the city’s information system on the side of the finance cluster, those offices responsible for revenue generation, my office that I head being one of them.

I am equipped with all the ideas I want to get drawn into the plan of automation by way of a cognitive map but you see, the unceremonious invitation from my cluster head is awfully disturbing. That moment I stand up on my toes was the last time I ever have to get back to my job.

I have already some hinted on my plan of a paperless renewal of business permits but who listens? I say that because that runs exactly in the direction of online licensing, a new field yet to be opened. One of those things bong that will otherwise crush a plan.

They still vote for them as money floods the streets during their crowded miting de atras.

Bong,

You are correct. With our discussion, any smart pinoy will get an idea of what business to start.

Hint: Contractor in website development, IT Management and Consulting for Philippine government.

I am very sure that personalities in public office should swallow the pills prescribed or else the consequence will go to the people.
