[Re: Loose Cannon: Diverging From Convergence, http://directmag.com/loosecannon/loose-cannon-diverging-convergence-062606/ Direct Newsline, June 26, 2006]:
Convergence?!? Sounds like MBA babble to me.
Over the past 50+ years in business, I have learned NEVER to argue with an MBA — they know everything there is to know about business … except how to make money.

You just don’t seem to get it. If consultants (and I am one) do not write new books with multi-syllabic titles, rife with adjectival fervor, claiming to be the newest pair-of-dimes (real shiny ones), how can we justify the ludicrous fees we charge. Convergence is a God-send, the deus ex machina for breakout sessions, without which breakout sessions could not exist. What other reason could we use to entice people to events where they will learn the latest jargon?
As you know, I am something of an anathema in this group, as I am a very slow learner, not at all quick to adopt the latest jargon. This differentiator allows me to charge even higher fees, which converge at my retirement fund.
Not that I have an opinion.
