I spotted some missing links in Mr. Fornier's presentation. Its actually the reason why I delayed my MindaNews article about his statements during the Kapihan sa SM City on Monday. I posted the initial statements to generate comments, and thank you for feeding in. I was supposed to interview Mr. Fornier yesterday, but he got tangled in meetings. Your post presented to me more salient points for the interview, thank you. I am also interested to interview you, if possible. Ok ra? I know that aside from writing for SunStar you are also cluster chair for ICT of the region’s economic development council. Anyway, I believe as an industry leader or a key person in the industry, your points form part of the main ingridients in this recent public fora on the city’s IT industry. I’m just too eager now to see how the private and the public sector work together on this. Hope to see you soon! Hi Blogie,

And then there's another one in the pipeline: SM's development project. I will blog about that as well. I will keep tabs on this I.T. park project.

Actually, it just so happens that I'm researching on business incubators, science parks, I.T. parks, and other related (but very distinct) endeavors right now. Your comment about Damosa's project just hit the right string. :-) Thanks blog.

I've had a first-hand experience in how they managed Damosa Gateway and it wasn't at all pleasant for many of the tenants (I believe your uncle can attest to that Blogs). It appears that, for them, as long as the rent payments are coming in, they won't do any more than what they're already doing. The encounter between Damosa and the Japanese above is a also a good reason on why we must gain knowledge about our target market on top of knowledge about our own competencies. We have to know our market in order for us to maximise the value we provide to them. Damosa's ignorance of the needs of the Japanese resulted in a poor presentation that did not win any contracts. Its complacency is going to be a big hindrance in the success of their so called I.T. Park. If they don't shape up, their so called I.T. development initiative will end up as just another so-so land development project that won't add much value to the community.
