Working hypothesise... ideas from my twitter thread... trying to pull all of the stuff together so I can see what's going on... still following the money... in search of gold...
Clive Burgess... A security bloke in search of the truth1st October 2012 – my view of social reality in organisational life
Although my ideas may not be quite right it is my hope that some of my stuff may stimulate others to develop new ideas or thoughts that may be put into practice now or in the future
