The two ways you can decide to be a specialist or a generalist.A four quadrant approach to choosing where you want to take your business on the generalist to specialist continuum.How to make a generalist skill set work in a hyper-differentiated market place.Why experimenting between the quadrants will lead you to your ideal balance between specializing and generalizing.Quotables“In the etch-a-sketch metaphor there's these two knobs you can dial…one would be who you help and the other is what you do.”—JS“Is there a market for this? And how big is that market?”—RM “The lower left quadrant is a rough place to be because that's the place where you have downward pricing pressure. You're commoditized.”—JS“If you just pick one of these two axes, I think most people know right away which feels better.”—RM“If you really want to be a generalist, I'd say, okay. Stay general in your skills, but pick a vertical, pick who you help.”—JS“This can be an experiment, but even if it doesn't work, what do you learn from that experiment? Well, you learn what you didn't like, so how do you get closer to what you DO want?”—RM “You create a moat around yourself that very few competitors will be able to cross.”—JS“You can think about which quadrant am I in? And is it the right quadrant for me and for my business? “—RM

Tom welcomes back Senior Portfolio Manager Bob Thompson to the program. Bob discusses the risks associated with the mining industry in light of a potential downturn. He explains that the lack of capital investment in mining, energy, and manufacturing means that the work done today won't result in supply for a decade, so any tapering of the Fed's policies will result in commodity price spikes due to the lack of available supply. Bob cautions that recession talk often hides underlying structural problems and affects commodities like oil that are heavily reliant on the economy, as well as gold which tends to do the best when the Fed reduces interest rates. Generalist funds have around zero percent of their money in gold, and there is potential for tens of billions of dollars to enter the sector as gold outperforms the S&P. Small sectors like metals and uranium are likely to benefit from increased capital, as exploration and development have been neglected. Bob believes that gold, silver, and uranium all have great opportunities ahead of them and that investors should look for companies with the lowest all-in sustaining cost, as their profits will increase with any rise in price.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What's surprised me as an entry-level generalist at Open Phil & my recommendations to early career professionals, published by Sam Anschell on March 30, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Disclaimer The opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not represent Open Philanthropy. Valentine's day 2022 was my first day of work at Open Phil. As a 24-year-old who had spent two post-grad years as a poker dealer/cardroom union representative, I had little in the way of white collar context or transferable skills. Recently, a few undergraduates and early career professionals have reached out to learn what the job is like & how they can get further involved in EA. In this post I'll try to provide the advice that I would have benefited from hearing a couple years ago. I'm hoping to widen the aperture of possibilities to early career professionals who are excited to use their time and talents to do good. I know how difficult it can be to land an EA job - it took years of on-and-off applying before I got an offer. It's normal to face a string of rejections and it's valid to feel frustrated by that, but I think the benefits to individuals and organizations when a hire is made are so great that continuing to apply is worth it. I encourage anyone who is struggling to get their foot in the door to read Aaron's Epistemic Stories - I found it really motivating. TLDR: Before starting this job, I underestimated the $ value of person-hours at EA orgs. I may have done this because: There's a disconnect between salary and social value generated (even though salaries at EA orgs are generous). Most for-profit companies value their average staff member's contributions at about 2x their salary, and I suspect EA orgs value their average staff member's contributions at more like 8x+ their salary. It could be uncomfortable to think that time at an EA org would be very valuable, both because of what it would imply for labor/leisure tradeoffs and because it could lead to imposter syndrome. It can be easy to mentally compartmentalize work at EA orgs as creating a similar level of social impact to work at nonprofits in general, despite believing that EA interventions are much more cost-effective than the average nonprofit's interventions. Due to this underestimate, I now think I should have focused on working directly on EA projects and spending more time applying for EA jobs earlier. Here are some of my recommendations to early career professionals: Don't feel like you have to put multiple years into a job before leaving to show you're not a job-hopper. EA orgs understand the desire to contribute to work you find meaningful as soon as you can! I suspect people apply to too few jobs given how unpleasant it can be to job hunt, and I strongly encourage you to keep putting yourself out there. I applied to a few hundred jobs before landing this one, as did many of my friends who work at EA orgs. Not getting any jobs despite many applications isn't a sign that you're a bad applicant. Doing even unsexy work for an organization that you're strongly mission-aligned with is more motivating than you might expect. I write about impactful ways that anyone can spend time at the end of this post. A ~Year in the Life What I did at work It's hard to look at a job description and get a sense of what the day-to-day looks like (and see whether one might be qualified for the job). Success in my and many other entry-level jobs seems to be a product of enthusiasm, dependability (which I'd define as the independence/organization skills to manage a task so that the person who assigns it doesn't need to follow up), and good judgment (when to check in, what tone to use in emails, etc.) In my day-to-day as a business operations generalist (assistant level), I've: Helped manage the physical office space: Purchased, ren...

Most photographers are given the advice to specialize in something in order to make it as a photographer. On the surface, this seems to make sense as it allows one to become an expert and to become known for one thing; however, it might not be the best advice to follow, especially if you live in a smaller town. This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Viktoria Haack - a photographer living in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Viktoria has chosen not to specialize in any one form of photography and has instead chosen to see herself as a generalist, which has done wonders for her photography career. On this week's episode of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, we discuss: How Viktoria fell in love with photography while living on a 300-acre island for ten years. How living on an island helped Viktoria hone in on what types of subjects interest her as a photographer. How social media has played a role in her progression as a photographer. How Viktoria uses social media now to advance her business offerings. How Viktoria has chosen to be a generalist and how that has worked for her. How photographing people has helped Viktoria round out her business. The idea of gardening not architecture. Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. Viktoria's approach to making photographs.

In this episode, Elias has a chat with Nirosha Methananda, an experienced B2B marketing professional that has worked with martech companies like Bombora and Influ2.

One of the questions most founders have is, "How do I start building a marketing team?" In this episode of In Demand, Asia Orangio, CEO of DemandMaven, breaks down the options that exist for founders starting to build out their marketing teams and what is the best fit for companies depending on the budget and time constraints they are facing. TL;DR: 1:20 - The four options for building your marketing team are: Generalist or specialist contractors Agencies or consultancies Full-time or part-time employees Learning marketing and growth yourself as a founder 2:36 - The best option for you will depend on your budget, what the business needs, and what you need as a founder. 5:00 - There is no perfect formula for who to hire, but there are patterns. When you have less than $10K in MRR, usually contractors and limited consulting are the best options for you. If you are above $10K in MRR, then you could start thinking about hiring an employee to focus on marketing. Some say wait to $50K in MRR, but when it makes sense for you will depend on your growth track. 7:00 - Contractors work in some different ways: Sometimes they charge a flat rate and sometimes will work as per hour or per project. You can find jack-of-all-trades type contractors up to hyper-specialized contractors. Typically it is easier to find talent and it is pretty low risk to hire contractors. The potential downside to contractors and freelancers is that you end up taking on more management work as a founder. 11:15 - Agencies and consultancies Agencies tend to be more expensive. At the lower end from $5,000 to $7,000 and at the high range $10,000 to $30,000 a month. Agencies specialize in execution. They can usually work fast and deliver quickly. Typically with consultancies, they are not actually doing the work but helping you bring clarity and perspective on how to overcome the challenges facing your businesses. The range for consultancies is also very large all the way from $6,000 or $7,000 up to close to six figures. Not all agencies are great at e

With the constant evolution of the asset management industry, investors need to stay a step ahead to justify earning an active management fee. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, this is a lesson that today's guest, Bill Nygren of Harris Associates, instills in the younger analysts he mentors.   Bill is a true legend of value investing and an investor you can turn to whenever the market is uncertain. He radiates fundamental ideas and has an expansive perspective on the comings and goings of the market and the economy at large.    Bill is the Chief Investment Officer for US equities at Harris Associates, which he joined in 1983, and a vice president of the Oakmark Funds. He has been a manager of the Oakmark Select Fund since 1996, Oakmark Fund since 2000, and the Oakmark Global Select Fund since 2006. Bill served as the firm's director of research from 1990 to 1998. He has received many accolades during his investment career, including being named Morningstar's Domestic Stock Manager of the Year for 2001, and he holds an M.S. in Finance from the University of Wisconsin's Applied Security Analysis Program (1981) and a B.S. in accounting from the University of Minnesota (1980).   In this episode, Bill, Michael, and I discuss why Bill was drawn to value investing, why generalist analysts transition more easily to portfolio manager than specialists, his approach to idea generation and portfolio construction, pivoting in times of crisis and great distress, recession insights from over 40 years of experience, and so much more!

Logan Maley is someone who really likes what she does. She believes she found her niche. She loves being in-house in tech because she gets to do all of the things she enjoys doing and that she think she's good at; strategy, advisory work, negotiating, making an impact, being creative, working and collaborating with a variety of people who have diverse skill sets and strengths. What really makes her job--and her life--fulfilling, however, is connecting with people. Logan likes to say that she's a serious professional who doesn't take herself too seriously. The second attorney in at Procore, she's seen the company scale from a private company with sub-500 employees, US only, to a NYSE-listed global company with over 3,000 employees and growing. She helped the company prepare for its IPO in every way (twice actually, thanks pandemic). Logan loves the journey of scaling a company and continues to enjoy each new phase of maturity. She has worn many hats and supported just about every practice area possible. She is currently supporting legal and compliance for their new ventures in FinTech, broadening her experience out of B2B SaaS. Aside from being a lawyer/tech exec, Logan is a mom of two awesome little humans, a spouse to one awesome very tall gentleman, a lover and player of music, and the one always hosting the parties. Molly Graham, a seasoned tech-exec, wrote an amazing piece about scaling a tech company in which she said "if you personally want to grow as fast as your company, you have to give away your job every couple months." Logan Maley has taken this approach to heart and will talk about how a "team of generalists" in a high-growth tech company can help legal teams meet each phase of maturity and help legal leaders keep not-yet-GC-level employees on board and engaged long past IPO or other late-stages of growth.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures.  Beta Product of the Week: Circool is the product this week and they are hq'd out of Birmingham filling a specific niche in school safety. Several companies ensure doors are locked and all guests are checked-in. Circool software addresses safety around school events. Some of the functionality around Circool includes providing the ability to create events, invite school parents/guardians and staff, and host events knowing exactly who is attending.  Articles to Highlight: In the Atlanta Ventures offices we always test theories and ideas around what makes a great entrepreneur. What ends up being the reason someone decides to dedicate their life to a specific problem and service? The Generalist has a great article on theories that make successful entrepreneurs: 1. The market misjudges you. I believe this is why so many companies get started in economic downturns. People who enjoyed safe, cushy roles find themselves out of a job and have limited fulfillment or desire to go work for a large corporation, so they take the leap. 2. The folks are an all around generalist and jack of all trades. I agree here as well. There are some people who cannot be boxed into a specific role. They will find ways to create and build. 3. Is around mental health issues. Examples include ADHD, OCD, etc. Lastly number 4 is a childhood trauma or difficult upbringing. Those that have overcome such setbacks early on know they can defy the odds of success in entrepreneurship.   Event of the Week: This is less of a specific event, but this week it was announced through StartupAtlanta that the Atlanta ecosystem calendar is live. This calendar includes every major hub in the city, specifically the ones on last year's tour which range in geography from the Russell Innovation Center to Tech Alpharetta. We put the link in the show notes so you can see all the events held in each location.  Job Change Alert: After going from idea and market to a $2.4B exit in December 2021, Salesloft CEO, Kyle Porter is handing over the next growth phase of the business to David Obrand. The story of Salesloft is as homegrown as one can find. Georgia Tech graduate, worked several years on and around the ATDC. Co-founded the company with David Cummings and Rob Forman. Through fits and starts, Salesloft leads and revolutionizes the SDR movement and role and now their software is used by thousands of companies and their sales reps as the application of record for their sales workflow. A historic changing of the guard from a one room office in the ATDC to a skyscraper in midtown. Proud of you Kyle Porter. A story for the ages. Company Coming Up: This company is called LoadHive and is headquartered out of Charlotte, NC. Their freight-tech software is making logistics and transportation much more efficient. Here is how they do it: once loads that fit the truck size and most convenient location of your driver have been identified, they are auto-assigned and show up in your driver's Loadhive app within seconds after the shipment is published. Your driver can see how much they are making per mile, per month and you nor your drivers ever have to search a load board and scan between multiple tabs. Also, all your contracts and documents will be handled through the software as well. If you work with 15 drivers or more, check out LoadHive today.  Companies Worth Applying To: This week it was announced SingleOps is hiring for several roles including customer success, product marketing, and SDR's. If you remember, SingleOps raised $74M back in July of last year from FTV Capital. They are putting the plan to work with job openings now.    Zinnia is looking for a technical lead. The authentic demand is strong with Zinnia which streamlines and organizes offsites and corporate retreats. CEO, Lauren Marturano and team are looking for their first full time engineer to build out the product. Zinnia, right now, is mainly services but there is a clear roadmap of features needed to reduce the headache and manual efforts to ensure every company who is not in the office 5 days a week yet still wants to build in-person culture, has an effective, productive, and affordable offsite or corporate retreat.  Raise of the Week: Spiffy announced this week they raised $30M led by Edison Partners. We've covered Spiffy several episodes ago. They service 3,000-4,000 cars a day whether it is cleaning, oil change, or more. Congratulations to Scott Wingo and team on the raise and future growth!   Annnnd that is five minutes! Links discussed:   

In the 7th installment of our Recruiter Mistakes series, we delve into the benefits of specializing in a niche market and how it can lead to shorter recruitment cycles, clearer messaging, and increased profits.     By focusing on a specific niche, you can tailor your message, build a strong candidate pool, and become the go-to expert in your field. However, choosing a niche can be challenging. Some recruiters may feel hesitant due to the fear of missing out on opportunities or letting go of legacy clients.    We know that specialists usually bill more than generalists and in this session Leanne and I hope to address any fear or hesitation you may have in committing to a niche market.   Episode Outline and Highlights [00:47] Clearer messaging to attract the right target audience. [02:30] Having a targeted and well-defined niche leads to a shorter recruitment cycle. [07:06] What could stop recruiters from focusing on a specific niche? [08:45] Dealing with legacy clients when transitioning to niche-focused recruitment. [15:30] Steps you can take to define your niche. [16:26] Next topic to cover in this series: not tracking your metrics.   The Benefits of Specializing   Specializing, in the long run, can help you shorten your recruitment cycle, leading to more placements which ultimately translates to maximized profits. Consider this: how long does it take for you to fill a job on average? If you're not focusing on a specific niche, you are starting from scratch every time you take on a new search.    Here is how specializing makes things easier:   The clearer you can be about your niche the clearer your message and branding can be  You can recycle your candidate pool. Much shorter recruitment cycle - presenting candidates within 24-48 hours instead of weeks or months.   Specializing is a proven approach. We would estimate that more than 90% of the million-dollar recruitment business owners we've had as guests on this podcast are specialists.   What Could Stop You from Committing to a Niche?   Some can feel hesitant to commit to a niche for two reasons: psychologically you may feel that you are turning down profit because you may feel that you are missing out on other opportunities, and you feel that you can't let go of your ‘legacy' clients.   If you take a second and think about it, the fear of missing out on other opportunities is quite the opposite of reality. Being a specialist means you will make more money. Although it feels like you are reducing the amount of business you are considering, focusing on a niche gives you more opportunities for repeat businesses and becoming top of mind when it comes to your specific field.   We are not saying that you forgo your legacy clients and leave them behind. A workaround is having a transition period and setting the right expectations with your existing core clients. You can still work with your legacy clients without compromising your commitment to a specific niche.    What Are the Steps That You Should Take   In our coaching program, we guide you to define or re-define your niche through our market-mapping exercise. Thinking about the parameters of how to define a niche, we use the acronym FILL (Function, Industry, Level, Location). Look back over your last 12-24 months of placements. Where have you been the most successful? That is a good starting point to decide your specialty.   Our Sponsors   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur.   i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Are you in the growth phase or the scale phase of your agency journey? Do you need generalists, specialists, or both? Knowing where you're at is the key to knowing who to hire to get where you're going.  Today's guest is in the scaling phase and believes this is when an agency needs to hire specialists. Before that, it's all about hiring generalists that can handle multiple tasks and get the business to the next stage. Manish Dudharejia is the founder and president of E2M Solutions, a full-service, white-label digital agency. His agency works as a trusted partner to scale your agency business behind the scenes. E2M has been serving agencies for 10 years and currently works with about 130 agencies across the U.S. Manish is a valued partner of the show and as a repeat guest, he shares his experiences solving some of the most common agency growth challenges. In this episode, he shares some of the hiring decisions that may be holding back agency's growth. In this interview, we'll discuss: When to hire a generalist or a specialist. The differences between the growth phase and the scale phase. Why automation is the next step after hiring specialists. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM   A Common Hiring Mistake for Agencies in The Early Growth Phase If you're past the initial growth phase with your agency, what would you have done differently to scale faster? Like many agency owners, Manish didn't know a lot about building a team back when he started his business. More than 10 years later, he has learned that when you're starting an agency or you're in the growth phase, you want to make sure you start off with a team of generalists. Generalists are people who are not necessarily tied to a specific role. They are able to work in several different roles during the agency's growth phase. After reaching certain goals and entering the scale phase is when you need to hire specialists. After opening his agency for business, Manish started looking for specialists right away. He figured he couldn't run the agency without them. The Importance of Hiring Generalists in the Early Growth Phase When starting an agency or in the growth phase, it is essential to hire individuals who can be flexible and perform multiple roles. These individuals, known as generalists, can provide much-needed support in various areas, allowing the agency to save costs and reduce the number of people to manage. Hiring generalists during this stage also enables the agency to avoid having idle employees and ensures that the quality of work does not compromise. 3 Advantages of Hiring Generalists In the early growth phase, it is common for agency owners to approach growth-related problems by hiring more people. However, this approach can be both costly and time-consuming, especially if the right employees are not found. On the other hand, hiring generalists provides several advantages, including: Reduced Costs: By hiring generalists, the agency can combine multiple roles into one, saving on costs and reducing the number of people to manage. Increased Resourcefulness: Generalists are known for their resourcefulness, which is an essential trait in the early growth phase. These individuals are versatile and can perform multiple tasks, providing the agency with much-needed support. Improved Quality of Worhttps://jasonswenk.com/amazing-agency-talent: Hiring generalists ensures that the quality of work does not compromise, as these individuals can perform multiple roles and provide support in areas where it is needed. The Right Time to Hire Specialists As the agency moves from the growth phase to the scale phase, it is time to start thinking about hiring specialists. Specialists bring unique skills and expertise that generalists may not possess, and they play an essential role in scaling the agency. Once the agency has reached a certain level of profitability and established a talent pipeline, it is the right time to start thinking about hiring specialists in each department. Hiring generalists in the early growth phase is crucial for the success of an agency. These individuals provide versatility and resourcefulness, saving the agency costs and improving the quality of work. As the agency moves from the growth phase to the scale phase, it is the right time to start thinking about hiring specialists who bring unique skills and expertise to the business.

“I really only have about two tips: one is read more than your peers. The other one is do side projects.” Justin Watkins is the Founder and CEO of Native Digital, a brand and marketing firm acquiring customers where they live: online. In 2020, AdWeek ranked Native Digital as the 4th fastest growing agency in the Midwest. Questions and topics we covered include: How Justin bridges the skills gap between performance and brand marketing for himself and with his team. The old habits organizations have when it comes to “legacy marketing” that still hasn't died off. Why you shouldn't focus on the competition (focus on your clients instead). Why misalignment in messaging is the most common problem Justin's clients are facing this year. How to qualify potential marketing clients? The traditional marketing channels that still excite Justin and that he's using for his clients (with an example of how Casper is using traditional media). Should side hustles be encouraged? And more! Say to hello to Justin via LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinwatkins/

Today's guest, Jason Dodge, started his search engine optimization (SEO) business, BlackTruck Media + Marketing, 14 years ago and his role continues to evolve as his company grows and the market changes.In this episode of The Clarity Advisors Show, Jason explains to host Ken Trupke exactly what search engine optimization is and shares what he's learned while building a team in a fast-paced, ever-changing industry.Episode HighlightsWhat search engine optimization is, how the industry is evolving, and the difference between SEO companies.The evolution of a leader's role as the team grows.Integrating interns and contractors into the team.Timestamps(01:06): How Jason got into the SEO field.(02:04): Defining search engine optimization.(03:00): Differences between organic and paid search.(03:44): How Jason's role has evolved as BlackTruck has grown.(08:44): Adding the first team member after five years in business.(09:38): Next steps in growth.(11:02): The value of interns.(12:45): Evolving while growing.(14:58): Generalists vs. specialists.(16:48): Using contractors for back-office roles.(19:28): Lessons learned over 14 years.(23:03): Difference in SEO companies.(26:06): Origin of “Black Truck Media” name.(26:42): What Jason's reading.(28:37): Ways to connect with Jason. Episode Quotes“I'm a firm believer that interns need to be paid. If they're getting value out of it and you are getting value out of it, there needs to be an exchange there.” (Jason)“One thing that you have to understand, if you are scaling responsibly, is when you need to jump in and be on the dance floor and when you need to get out.” (Jason)“It really comes down to three to four kinds of pillars. That's transparency and honesty – you can lump those two together – and empathy and advocacy. Those are the things that really stand out to me.” (Jason)“Lead with empathy and consider the fact that your team has a life outside of work. As a business owner or entrepreneur, keep in mind that nobody is going to be as passionate about your business as you are.” (Jason)“I'm upfront with everyone in the interview process that I'm not a mind reader. You have to be an advocate for yourself, for the business, and for your client. You have to be an advocate for the things that you want.” (Jason)Jason Dodge's Recommended ReadingSYSTEMology, by David JenynsScaling Up, by Verne HarnishWhat the Heck Is EOS? by Gino WickmanTraction, by Gino WickmanFollow/Connect with Jason Dodgejason@blacktruckmedia.comblacktruckmedia.comJason Dodge on TwitterJason Dodge on LinkedIn

“I think the normal career advice we get is, if you have a lot of passions, you've got to choose just one,” says author, speaker, and teacher Sarabeth Berk. “Otherwise, how are you going to be successful if you're trying to do 10 things at once?” Berk needed to answer that question. Feeling pigeonholed in her career, she set off on a series of research interviews with people who have multiple expertise and are successful. She dubs it "The Hybrid Career" which she outlines in her new book "More Than My Title: The Power of Hybrid Professionals in a Workforce of Experts and Generalists." Listen in to her conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour to learn how she built an online course to help others find their momentum so they can look beyond their title to uncover the diversity of work they're truly passionate about.

Do you want to bring a box of chocolate chip cookies to the party, or do you want to bring a box of gluten-free, Himalayan sea salt, fair-trade dark chocolate cookies to the party? Are we really talking about cookies? Nope. This is our segue into the differences between generalists and specialists. Generalists are generally suited for everyone whereas specialists serve a niche market. CEO and Little Bird Momma, Priscilla McKinney, and Co-CEO of Ag Access and Co-CEO of Communications for Research (CFR) Colson Steber dig into the differences between specialists and generalists in the world of market research. Colson Steber also volunteers as the President of the Insights Association Great Lakes Chapter, which is the combination of five regional chapters into one.  In this episode, we also discuss the value of serving a niche. Ag Access is laser-focused on the agricultural sector and has done large-scale work at a gigantic scope to stand out. His company has put together a phenomenal resource called the Ag Researcher's Almanac that helps to get everyone on the same page with the terminology around Agriculture-based market research. It's yours for FREE. So what is the difference between generalists and specialists? As Colson Steber says, “nothing and everything.” Curious? Let's dive into the details on the show.

Part of the journey from ops specialist to generalist is to be exceptional in a particular area, says Travis Ferber, VP of Strategy & Operations at Fivetran.   Travis and host Briana Okyere discuss:   - How strong team relationships lead to more transparency and feedback and can help organizations scale. - Why showing strength in particular areas, results in leadership targeting you for broader responsibilities, therefore, putting ops professionals on a path to generalization. - Why only being a “smart person in the room” can limit career opportunities.   As is so often the case in these conversations, this is yet another example of the unconventional path taken into ops.   This episode is brought to you by Tonkean Tonkean is the operating system for business operations and is the enterprise standard for process orchestration.
