What suggestions do you have for management?

"Define what products you have and what vision you want to have in the next 5 years for those. Eliminate the ones you won't even bring back to the table and don't even mention them again. If you're dedicating your resources to different projects, make sure you are actually %100 invested in those. Other wise, it is a dying project left to suffer with a lot of smart people dedicated to it. Lastly, if you are a tech company, get the best players out there and build your products so well that you wont even need a BizDev team to back it up with half an hour of conversation. Good products sell themselves, if you're Dir of BD is still struggling to make a case for who the company is and what they do after 10 years, there is definitely something wrong there."
