We’ve been having some problems getting our focus groups organized (for the software we develop). It’s partially due to time and availability of participants but mostly due to inept clients and clueless management (isn’t that always the case?).

Our fearless leader the Riddler was aware of this and decided to email his brilliant solution to god’s hated child (GHC) this morning. The solution? Have our focus group participants test someone else’s software instead of ours.

Now apart from the fact that this clearly demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge about what a focus group test is, it is a statement coming from the company president who has supposedly been involved in the mechanics of his industry for almost 7 years (15 if you believe the marketing trash).

GHC’s reaction? “I’m stunned speechless. It’s absolutely the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of.”
