Problem solving Quote by Victor Cheng
““Clients probably have a lot of intuitive problem solvers on staff already, and each employee has his or her own opinion. But clients need someone to use facts to determine which of those opinions are the best. Not only that, they need everyone on the client team to agree on the solution””
