About Food for Thoughts

The good thing with consulting is that you can work on very diverse topics and areas; you accumulate a lot of transversal and specific knowledge, you meet and exchange thoughts & ideas with many people but these inputs are not necessarily re-usable immediately in the projects we all work on. It certainly doesn’t mean that these thoughts should be buried.

That’s a whole purpose of this blog: Keep a tangible print of thoughts, some kind of idea inventories, hoping they may feed & fuel further discussion. It is food for thoughts.

Food for thought = anything that:

  • Provides mental stimulus for thinking
  • Put issues into perspective
  • Helps identifying innovative solutions to address future challenges
