On June 7th, 2022, I had the honor of addressing the local chapter of the MBBI of Wisconsin (Midwest Business Broker and Intermediaries) on this subject at the Wisconsin Club. I would like to share some of my thoughts and ideas on this subject. Please, as I stated before, understand that these are my thoughts and opinions and not necessarily those of Gross Automation, their suppliers, their customers, or the organizations to which they belong. This is the first in a three-part discussion on the topic.
