i think we need a bolder mission statement for our team. i would love it to say, AMD users number one in all DC project. thats never going to happen. i do believe that we could be top 10 in all projects. i also think that we should aim for top 10 instead of top 5 or number one at this point. the fact is that we are a new team and need to grow a lot before we can ever hope of getting to the top of the big DC projects. if we are in the top ten we will gain a lot of support quicker that if we aim at just one or two major projects and try to get top 5 like it stands now. we are 11 in life mapper and have 21,000 units to move up to 10. that will be a while and even longer to 9. it is almost exponential grow for the length of time it will take to move up. in other words it is a lot more work for less gain, when 11 is still a dominant position and will attract attention to us. it is my proposal to not shoot for top 5 and instead reach top 10, or reach the highest point before we are out crunched, in every project to build our forces. then go back and start aiming at the top.
we must still maintain our current postitions. what do you think?
