Instanitate a quantum leap in your paradigm structure to enable team members
to leverage World-Class, standardized terminology systems in content-neutral
information products that facilitate excellent service to our internal
customers and improve the quality of the service provided by measuring
against best-in-class metrics.
This new business model will create an environment where employees are
recognized for the important services that they provide in placing the focus
on making the company more competitive in a global economy, rather than on
narrow issues of content and communication.
I'm glad we could take this opportunity to ensure that we are all on the
same page as we face new challenges and technologies.
And I hope I don't get rationalized for this.
