There are
words we need to borrow from other languages.
From German, that word of the day is “schnapsidee”. “Schnapsidee” is a compound word, from
the German “schnaps”, meaning “strong liquor”; and “idee”,
meaning “idea”. Literally, it means “drink
idea”. “Schnapsidee” is an idea
or plan conceived while you are drunk, or an idea or plan that sounds so ridiculous,
so ludicrous, that you may as well have been drunk when you thought it up.
These are my thoughts on business development and management issues. I worked for years as a consultant and in various positions in the logistics and maritime industry. We have handled projects from training and development to corporate imaging and branding.
