Dear Menon,
Do you think the so called 'struggle for existence' remains now under the hood of recession ?
The synergy approach would amplify the delivery mechanism , yet do you have takers?
Value Add seem to be another buzz word. In what way you think the value add need to be ?
Your views please.

Interestingly it is almost 30 months since the post was made by me!
Let me update you since then, the industry did double in 2008-and has seen a drop in revenue in the last 12 months!
The game has changed significantly-and now itsnt really a choice as much a necessity for value add-if one has to be relevant!
Firms -with complementary skills are coming together to flank each other and reduce overheads..
Shall try and address this in a new post shortly!
