Board of Directors: To Be or Not to Be is Not the Question
W3W3 Media Network | 05.19.2008
"CEO's without a board are missing so much value," states Sue Kunz, CEO/Founder of Solidware Technologies. "Just like building a good team, first look at your own skill sets and identify the gaps that you have and what you need in building a business. Then strategically look for folks who can fill those gaps." Sue pointed out that a board is not just active at the board meeting. She looks to her board for dialog, sometimes weekly. When asked if there was a 'downside' to having a board, Sue said, "It's a lot of work. With these top notch people you don't want to waste their time." Sue is a guest panelist at the Colorado Capital Conference.

The New Award Winning Mantra is Time to Money
W3W3 Media Network | 11.06.2006
The average car has 35 million lines of code in it, with 100+ million lines of code in a high-end car. Really good code has one error for every thousand lines of code.

SD Times | 08.18.2006
