Executive DM (w/ individual oversized inserts) speaks to various business audiences by challenging the preconceptions of everyday topics, labels and titles–including SPAM.
Spam started out as an irritant, a time-waster and a source of potential embarrassment.
Today, though, it’s much more. Spam is now the professional work product of an organized criminal enterprise and a low-cost, highly efficient vehicle for delivering malware and enticing recipients
(company users) to visit fraudulent Web sites.
THIS MADE IT all the way to the butcher floor.

An older one that reminded me of the POLLO concept we just sold through (totally different country and industry though)–If you listen to programmers—and we do—application development is a kind of art form as opposed to an industrialized business process. And when dealing with massive, complex, business-critical applications, you find that programmers (in-house or outsourced) can be very “creative,” indeed…
Most large companies have, at least, one Zebrelephicken: a complex, ultra-distributed application that ties up lots of dollars and energy in maintenance. So How can your application development teams most efficiently feed and maintain this beast?

THERE IS A MORE STRATEGIC WAY TO EXTEND THE VALUE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE BUSINESS APPLICATIONS. Year after year, it becomes harder to cover the obvious gap between where your company’s critical business applications are and where your changing business requirements need them to be.
Why? The short answer is: application complexity. So while the business is speeding up and changing, all kinds of technical factors are causing your most sophisticated and critical applications to become less easily adaptable. Some Things You Just Can’t Ignore.
