    Opportunity isnt always obvious.

    Aside from the obvious Tiger Woods jokes, the continued existence of that company is a monument to human folly. Nowhere on the internet can so much bulltulip be found on one site, no not even here on CUK.

    You could actually clip and paste random sections of sentences from that site and it all make just as much sense. For example `Our High Performance Business research is not only a protection against risk, but also a unique approach to talent and workforce analytics that delivers customer-centricity to France Telecom’s growth strategy.´ See what I did?

    I'm sure their articles are generated by a random sentence machine. And yet, people read them and then hire Accidenture at silly rates to come and sell them a 'compelling
    set of practical insights for organizations that aspire to high performance.'

    How do they do it?
