Kimbo Slice is the guy in the white shorts. He is an underground boxer, that will fight anyone, anytime, anyplace, for between $5,000 and $10,000. Backed by a Miami porn site mogul, he has these fights for a living until he goes pro. Which he is looking to do, in UFC or something. So, if you wanna throw down with Kimbo then you'd better hurry up. Otherwise you'll have to assault him or go pro to get a piece. It has been argued that he was on PCP, or a short acting anabolic agent popular with Mike Tyson, that stimulates extreme aggression. But the guy went to prison for 10 years, and was probably raped before he got that big, so I think he just has an enormous amount of aggression and experience in fighting. You decide. For me: Kimbo is my hero either way. He is way tough. kimboslice@hotmail.com if you want to throw down. Meet Kimbo Slice. Do not anger Kimbo. Kimbo is teh tough. |

] But overhauling a traditional service design is no ] one-shot, onetime deal. Because technological and ] infrastructure changes, competition, and industry ] restructuring are ongoing, service companies need to ] constantly experiment and fine-tune their systems if they ] are to negotiate these changes in a sustainable manner. This article addresses numerous topics springing from the current transformation from early stage information economy to more mature models. For me personally, it's a ringing endorsement for the constant creation and destruction of an organization from within. It also lays out a recommendation for a process based organization much like what AMHC is undertaking. Boot Camp for Service Operations |
