Well you know, they say it's all about creating wants. It seems to me MPS is a bureaucratic equivalent to social media: every business wants a piece of it, without knowing exactly what it entails. <br /><br />I guess you get enough people talking about something and everyone else is bound to get curious. if anything, the failure to define MPS only adds to the interest!Peter Lavellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178907483725595349noreply@blogger.com
