My point (cleaverly hidden by my fantastic writing skills - or lack
thereof) was that how does anyone know whether any success has been
occurred after "person-centuries" of CRM training. People are running
around pushing this approach or that approach without any evidence that any
of it is having any affect.
I have deep reservations about the underpinnings of empirical support
offered for the effectiveness of what has been done to date. And if one
cannot measure the results in an sound way - then perhaps developing valid
measures is where we should be spending our resources.
