My Thoughts on CUE 2007
Even though I didn’t attend Lawson CUE this year in San Diego, I did receive my usual eyewitness reports. I also viewed the video feeds of keynotes and listened in on the executive/analyst briefings. And, naturally, I do have my opinions.
Does Lawson Own a Time Machine?
Seth Godin writes in his blog today (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/03/time_machines.html about the use of time manipulation by customer service employees in order to achieve “customer satisfaction”.

Sliding Doors
A few years ago there was a movie by the name of “Sliding Doors” (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/6305210411/002-1493439-0644836), of which I remember very little except that the concept was pretty unique; it’s essentially the same plot line running in parallel with itself, where in one of the plot lines certain things happen which don’t happen in the other (and vice versa). In the end, there are-of course-two different endings. To stretch this just a bit (OK, a lot), sometimes I feel like I’m live a parallel life when it comes to Lawson. This has really just become abundantly clear to me recently.
