I wish I had some examples to give you...but I don't.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I used to be a "working insider" in this industry in Silicon Valley and much of my involvement came into play when hiring managers "went outside the loop," which was quite often.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I look forward to positive examples...but I don't think you will get too many because the model/process is naturally flawed.  To have true success, you would have to go against the model's design...sounds weird...I know. :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sean Rehder</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jul 2007 09:08:31 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
