@aki I sense a flaw in your argument. I assume all the guys on the list are techies and skunkworks is a community of techies. Arguing that every request should be billed and or invoiced is like asking doctors to bill each other for advise when they meet in the cafeteria or at the coffee machine. Non-techies walk into tech shops probably owned by skunks *coughs* yast labs *coughs* and they pay for products and services. On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 5:14 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
@Brainiac, me too thinks the same thing and respects it. The only asset technologists have worth selling is one's expertise and because it's not product based which does not allow you to bundle it as an inclusive package, I believe one is free to bid in such an economy for skills expertise. Maybe am outdated as I ran such schemes in a successful service centre in '94-'95 before handing over to intl vendors under contract from local agent, which would be replicated in other places...
Whats your take on how to offer expertise as a billable service when you have no goods to offer that can provide a sale value? :-)
