John - thanks for the info.
Honestly, I probably wouldnt know what I was reading, or if it rang true.
I was an engineer by trade, both hardware and software, but spent my last 10 years or so in the executive ranks. Which means all my brains fell out and I've become dependent on ranks of smart people to get me to believe something and then give me plans to pick from on what to do.
Then I make capricious decisions that make everyone miserable, declare success and move to the next project.
So considering that perhaps a lot of us are old engineers or old executives (guessing), the engineers will want the painful data streams; the executives will want to know who has bought into this set of ideas, their credentials, who opposes it, their credentials, an executive summary that is for and against, answers to a handful of questions, and options/alternatives for what to do.
With regards to predicting in decade+ time frames, tell me what that means to you. That you can guess with %% certainty the direction, the value, ? That you make decisions once a decade on valuations and buying decisions?
(psst...I'm trying to help you set up a way to present this in an edible manner to your potential constituencies...)
