Stevie "Don" Adams...

>>Now that he's drummed that message into Novell's troops, he's going to deliver it to the software developers at
Brainshare, Novell's annual developers conference that begins March 27 in Salt Lake City. ``If people come away
with nothing else, I want them to know we will have a clear, consistent marketing plan,' he says.

The idea is to convince Internet service providers (ISPs), Web hosting companies and application service providers to
use Novell's products to manage and secure their networks. Adams considers those companies to be Novell's most
important distribution channel.>>

A great idea just hit me.

Steve Adams should radically get away from Novell's legendary tendency for tight, consistant, crisp, clear presentations.

If there's one thing that consistent these past few years is Novell's penchant for turning making into a Don Adams "close the door nose" fiasco.

If Novell wants to really run in Internet Time and get right with this revolution, they need to completely loose all pretense that they know what they are doing.

For its the pretense that kills and shuts the door and although Steve Adams can keep walking, he sure needs to learn how to sit down, listen and let the customers talk.

If Steve Adams really wants to change the direction of Novell's marketing, he should have the guts to call someone like me.

Either that or have his hair shaved and painted orange.

Peace.

GO!!
