I have recently been doing quite a bit of work in the European Community and more particularly in the UK. One of the things that I’ve found interesting is that many of our European brethren are not familiar with the term “C-suite executive”. As the yank from the colonies I’ve found myself attempting to rationally explain the phenomenon of “Title Proliferation” (which is comprised of “Title Escalation” and “Title Inflation”) that we’ve experienced in the US over the last several years.

Today marks the launch of a new category on the N2growth Blog…Companies That Get It. Since I tend to frequently rant about companies that don’t get it I thought it only fair to spend a bit of time in praise of those that do. I will not comment on existing client companies and I will not accept any form of compensation to induce coverage. So moving forward when I happen upon a company that conducts its business in exceptional fashion and/or is innovative in its approach I will give them recognition as a company that gets it…
