"Families and tribes" (a) get by fine without explicit processes because they are small groups, or (b) they do have the processes but they don't need to be written down because they are taught implicitly from birth.
Arguments of the form "We don't need [insert any concept from management text books] because we are smart, technical people" are the flags on areas of your company that will break the worst.
5 of 12 sentences are hard to read. 2 of 12 sentences are very hard to read. 2 adverbs (he should be aiming for "0 or less"). 0 words or phrases could be simpler*
*this "could be simpler" feature might be a bit ambitious. If you're confident in telling me that the entire text is essentially too complicated, it seems contradictory that at the same time none of it could be made more simple.
I'm also biased because I love being sold to when the rep is executing her pitch well.
Technically we're not based in Australia any more.
In the US we build companies to change the world, and we scoff at small ideas.

Then it analyzes all the data, figuring out who's happy, who's unhappy. You can then search the results. Main example: type in a product that your company sells, Chorus will tell you how your customers feel about it, how the feelings are changing over time, and what you need to address now to make your customers more happy.
Maybe the Submit Question page was overly ambitious
I've found the title of the article is fairly representative of how much I enjoy reading it. If this is true for others, why try to force us to upvote articles? Just count the clicks and use that as a strong weight in rankings. Is it currently analysed at all?
If you take the frame that show's the inside of the mask alone, is there a way to prove the image is of a concave object? To see it as convex is arguably 'wrong' but it's a moot point because you're looking at something that is objectively identical to a convex object anyway.
Couldn't I just extend your argument to say the fact that you see a face at the very start of the movie is an illusion? After all it's a mask, not an actual face.
Isn't a 'real' illusion one that causes you to see something that isn't objectively there? For example, The Grid illusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion).
If you find an alternative way to create an identical image, then it's forgery, not an illusion.
Put another way, the Grid Illusion is to "worng sleplnig" what the Hollow Mask is to "conversation" (a word in both the English and French languages)
