Research & analysis is the point of departure for succesfull business development. Taking actions towards creating new business opportunities, new business relationships with cross-functional partners, attaining new customers, exploring new markets will be based on applicable & useful current facts & analyses, if research & analysis is superb. I like to concentrate on departure-points as being major in achieving any succes.

Hire the right person at the right time.
Passion for either the process or the result.
