Hmmm, I see, you are arguing that you CAN in fact mix activities effectively in many cases thus mitigating the zero-sum aspect. You example makes this assertion far more compelling, than the bare assertion alone would be. Thanks for including that!

So is there a web pointer to this magical consulting practice?

And I can see the medium is not a place you frequent (I was totally confused that I was following you… but could not remember what this was about. It had been that long since our interaction!)

Still if you have time to put one or two posts into one of the prime topic areas here I think they would add to the quality of the ideas. (too often Medium is a 20-something writing their earliest thoughts on a practical issue, just like the one you responded to. I am ok with that, but would love to leaven these with posts having some data behind them!)

Cheers,

Dan
