Huberman Redux
Once upon a time, there was a short-timer. Not a short-timer in the sense that he had a few months to go in his career. No, he was short in years on the job. He was taken under the wing of a certain "meri-clout-orious" exempt who regaled the mayor with tales of how indispensable this individual was and how the Chicago Police Department would grind to a halt if he was allowed to leave for the private sector and make real money. So the patrolman was promoted to Assistant Deputy Superintendent and served a few years there before going off and spending time as the mayor's Chief of Staff, driving the CTA into the ground and is currently in the process of facilitating the first teachers' strike in 20 years. He also tried to steal a Chicago Police pension.
Monday, history began to repeat itself when another "meri-clout-orious" exempt took a short-timer under his wing and told a gullible J-Fled that the Department would grind to a halt without this single individual's vast experience in crime fighting and computer skills. So the patrolman was promoted to Director, which is a Commander equivalent spot. To facilitate this jump past sergeant, lieutenant and captain, an entirely new unit was created:

- The Predictive Analytics Group!
This is yet another sub-group attached to the Office of the Supernintendo (Unit 111) and adds another layer to the already top-heavy ranks of exempts that seem to have expanded at a rate inversely proportional to the state of the economy and Shortshanks declaring he has no money.
As someone suggested, why couldn't a sergeant or lieutenant run this group? Do we really need another $170,000-per-year spot created for a 4-year-wonder who hasn't paid any street dues when we can't get cars maintained, PDT's repaired or afford to keep our own ranges operating?

Isn't this along the same lines as the assistant chief spot that Dugan had made up. Apparently supervising all those deputy chiefs of patrol, I believe there was 5 of them, was toooo hard for one person. So they got him an assistant at $130k or whatever the new pay scale is.
In the mean time, we need to bring in more parkers troops. Revenue is down and expenses are up to maintain this disorder.
more waste 170K + car and will boy wonder get a new crown vic also? Kma member here 3 years and 1 month then bye going to a real state ARIZONA, with real politicians that stick up for the taxpayers and CITIZENS! Unlike shitcago with all the corruption and the exempt structure looks like the 3 stooges on drugs!
Typical of the lack of leadership exhibited by Large Forehead and MASTERSMASTERSMASTERS.
I hope this guy chokes on his new white shirts and his gold braid.
Whats with all the code? If its true name the guy. whats the big secret?
The pay isn't quite that high SCC, but it was likely a decision by Masters (x3) to place this kid in this newly created spot. But hey, the CPD can afford it, because all Masters and J-Fled have to do is dump more of the unclouted exempts, and viola! The money for the new guy will turn up like magic!
In this age of budget crises, we have a director's spot created for a police officer with four years of seniority for a unit consisting of four people. We have a "policy group" with very little street experience advising top management, and spending untold amounts of money on tactical training that they will NEVER use. We have a lieutenant's position created in News Affairs, where no position previously existed, which is staffed by a lieutenant who also has no street experience, but who is now so important that she can't even be spared a few days a month to help out in the districts. And who is directly responsible for all of this nonsense? J-Fled is the obvious answer, and he is ultimately responsible, but MASTERS has his hands in EVERYTHING. Believe it.
Who?
The city doesnt have money for a detectives class thou. Only three years without one. how many other promotions made in that time??
Oh, just wait. It gets better. Is anyone aware of the position recently made for Wortham's sister?
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE
Sad. Sad. Sad. I feel like I am in a bad dream. "Crime is down!" But the bodies keep piling up! "The city has no money to hire more cops!" But let's created unnecessary, high-paid positions!
Can anyone tell me the name of the demented circus I am living in?!!!
Does anybody remember CAPS?.....Why bother!
Brett J. Goldstein, Employee #102214, is hereby appointed to Director of Predictive Analytics Group, Office of the Superintendent, Unit 111.
PS: Prior to this commandership appointment, his appointment date is 31 JUL 06 and he has title code of 9161 (Patrolman)
You forgot to mention where Huberman (L.T.H.S. Class of 1990) got all of his ideas, from his brother. The same brother that also happens to be Hubie's connection to a famous former law professor from U of C. Go lions!
Hopefully, the new police Supt. will bust this guy back down to PO and put him on 1st watch in 007... this could be the barbell that breaks J-FLED's back.
You will never doubt what a genius Brett Goldstein is when you see his powerpoint. Shame on you for doubting his ability.
This powepoint shows how half-ass and stupid this depratment has become. J-fed and the other idiots that run this department must beleive CSI is real. This powerpoint is total bullshit.

sorry ray ray your swat skills didnt cut it over computer nerd
MT recommended a promotion before he leaves for retirement.
Who's the 4 year wonder? I've worked in a few places over the years and why does it seem like it always takes sooo long for police gossip to make it to the far south side (004)? Are we still using carrier pigeons? Is that why I see the old lady "flippin the Pigeons" up on the roof of 005th district. I just though they was doin that because the commander might be on his way back from his lunch.
What a joke.......
I thought the city was broke and we waste money on a move like this. The electronic crystal ball unit.
No wonder we are broke.
J-Fled needs a new pot to piss in. The pot is this new group and director. Too bad for the director that the piss is acidic and destroying everthing it touches. Hopefully no new office furnature was purchased. J-Fled's tenure and this idea are on life support.
The cream rises to the top here at the CPD. Or is it the pond scum...
So this kid didn't have enough time on the job to even take a detective or sergeant promotional exam? He's got 4 years on the job total, with the first (just about) half of his career being spent as a recruit. And the remaining 2 years of his career being spent in the data services office under Lewin?
If this kid performed such miracles on this department that JW decided was deserving of a quintuple promotion - straight to Commander - (bypassing those bullshit ranks of detective, sergeant, lieutenant or captain that we all need to be tested for and college educated for) then this kid should also be given the Pulitzer Prize and annointed a saint.
Yeah JW this exciting and motivating news certainly boosted morale today, once again, under your leadership. FKING LYING CORRUPT PRICKS. ALL OF THEM.
This police department, as well as all city departments, exists to provide high paying jobs to the clouted.
...allowed to leave for the private sector and make real money.
...another $170,000-per-year spot...
What's the definition of real money?
Why not? Experience is over rated anyway.
When I shit like this, it reminds me why I really don't give a flying f*ck about this place any more.
Does he have to take furlough days too??
Now I know why I saw a truckload of Ouija boards tarot cards, tea leaves, and crystal balls on the loading dock at 35th street.
Here’s an idea. The predictive analysis group can have a homicide forecast just like Tom Skilling on our homepage or on the back of the daily bulletin, but here’s the easy part for them because the chance for homicide is 100% everyday of the year. Where’s my gold star and $140K.
Word to DA Mayor:
FIX WHAT'S BROKEN FIRST!!!
If this golden child really had potential in the private sector, he would never joined the CPD. This is a very excessive reward system for a unproven concept. Let him earn his spot first. If crime drops and his system has great benefits then offer him something. Why must we reward him for a new unproven idea? Creating a exempt spot is very excessive. WTF!
Just when you believe that the exempt ranks cannot become bloated with more BULLSHIT....thanks, J-Fled & Masters (X3)!

I ask:
Who are you talking about that now has the position of Director?
Isn't it that a civilian like Commander Roman should be titled Director and a sworn member titled Commander? Does the dept. general order have civilian spots for Commander? How do I apply for one of these? Serious replies only!
Now I know this kid, no he doesnt have time on the job and no he is not a grunt like me.when he came to 011,I inquired to his back ground, as most acting FTOs will do, I looked at him like he was fucking crazy. To take a huge pay cut to come to this fucking shit hole of a place,it was just stupid. So I advised this person to use his background and get the hell out of patrol. Pointed him in the direction of the nearest "next" boss.(JJ) and let the chips fall. you know why a Sgt Lt or someone else couldn't run this made up fantasy unit? because there are no such person that has half the nerd brains that this kid does, nope no street smarts (although he did confront a armed offender, off duty with assist a cook county officer) and sure I call him a friend for spending his own personal time in the hospital with me while my kid was going through her cancer treatments (his parents are doctors and he helped me with some important questions) I know Rah Rah! look I hate this dept as much as anyone and know the place is screwed up from the ground up and the blame lays squarely from the mayor on down. and sure he doesn't have the experience of us old timers. but I know how this system works and I opened that door for him.oh and me? whats in it for me? Not a fucking thing im staying in 011 I have had my "phone" call in my pocket for years through both my parents and their friends in the ivory tower for years and never used it. why? because I wanted to be a grunt, I am my own boss and dont I answer to anyone.AND better yet I dont owe anything to anyone. that's just my opinion.. oh and jfled masters,masters masters, mayor command staff GFYS........... STILL LOST IN FILLMORE
short-timer i would say. He don't have enough time on the job to take the sgts exam. Only has 5 yrs on the job and 3 1/2 have been inside. Sold his soul for a gold star.
Just like the CFD. They promoted a fireman to District Chief in our last promotional order. What a joke!

SCC, When I was detailed to HQ, Brett G had this AMAZING idea: Use computers to predict the location of the next 0110. The brilliance of Brett's logic is why J-Fled has decided to give him $141,000.00 a year: "If someone gets killed there, we say the program works. If not, we say we prevented a homicide by saturating the area, so the program works. It's a win-win." At the time, R&D laughed it off. Brett's the one laughing now. I knew J-Fled was a coward, a political hack, and steroid abusing freak...I just had no idea how truly dumb he was.

Don't we have R&D, DOC, CPIC and Management and Accountability all running computers and stats to target hot spots? What is different about this new unit? It must be something special. Can't wait to see it in action.
The entire concept is ridiculous. Let's not forget how well things are running with the Department Computers so far. Different systems, programs too complicated for our use, and don't get me started on the PODS. Yeah, let's promote these guys.
The next Superintendent really needs to clean house when he gets in. Lots of dead wood to clear out.
PO Brett Goldstein appointed to Director of Predictive Analytics Group, Unit 111. Just made 4 years on the job. But he knows more than you old timers ever will. This department is a joke.
This city is a FUCKING JOKE!! You know that ultimately dumb ass shortshanks is the puppetmaster behind it all.
This is so disturbing that it's hard to think about. What a joke this department has become! I thought city hall had a budget problem? I'm sure J-Feds's policy girl KB will be the next to go from 5 years on the job to exempt. RIP CPD.

The guy is not qualified to be a detective, sgt, lt or capt, but now has the ability to nominate people to go into those spots.

8/17/2010 01:25:00 AM
and just think, this clown wasn't even on the job when we took that said detectives test. 4 years on the job and made exempt with what skills (ball-licking and ass tounging) I guess i will remain a blue shirt. Only 1 year left here in this circus if I so choose.
I have been waiting over three years for the next Detective class! Maybe I should of took the commander/director test instead? I keep waiting for the watch commander at roll call to announce a commander study group/test but to no avail.
All you need to do is look at ANY city Department budget..Top loaded with Assistant this,Deputy that,Assistant to,, the list goes on and on..but when it come to rank and file..not so much
Be safe ..and God bless
Not a Cop
Let's just say he was making $75,000 a year as a patrolman.
Now he is making $150,000 as a Director with no police experience ($75,000 promotion).
The city wants us to write more parking tickets.
If the average fine for a parking ticket is $75.00, we will all have to write 1,000 more parking tickets to make up the difference in his new salary ($75,000).
Think about that when you are deciding to write another ticket. You are helping the new regime continue their nonsense. Is there any motivation to do anything anymore?
No matter how many computers you have running, or computer nerds running them, you still need POLICE OFFICERS to put handcuffs on the bad guys.
This city is trying to create a police force like that police force in sylvester stallone's movie "Demolition Man."
Are there any success stories to this predicability computer?

8/17/2010 08:45:00 AM
I agree. The det div has people running these stats. What is so different? I'll tell you it's the same stuff with a different name, that's all. I can't believe Jfled promoted this guy so far up even w/out an ounce of street experience let alone any detective experience. I am shocked by the way money is needlessly thrown around in this dept. Why doesn't JFled give an award to him first like everyone else gets when they think "outside the box". Then again, others have thought outside the box and they got nothing. Clout rules.
Look at it like this if someone was a good lawyer they wouldnt be an ASA. If someone was a proficient in computers they wouldnt be CPD. These are all hack jobs for people that werent bright enough to get a real job so they used clout to get hired. Perfect example is Hubie. Hes supposed to be a computer genius. Remember he said department will be paperless by 2000. Then why is it that every department he has run is worse than before he ran it.
"Do we really need another $170,000-per-year spot created for a 4-year-wonder who hasn't paid any street dues when we can't get cars maintained, PDT's repaired or afford to keep our own ranges operating?"
Oak Park just let one of two Deputy Chiefs go; he was in this salary range.
No wonder people hit the medical, don't do anything productive or make arrests, etc. You work hard, make productive arrests, and the sgt only gives you more work because they know you will get it done while the others who are lazy get rewarded for not getting anything done. It's a vicious cycle. You wait for YEARS for your number to get called for a promotion, but have to watch 30% jump the list and make it YEARS before you and get seniority to boot. You see the Supt's driver get a nice "merit" promotion and a corrupt-connected Cmdr get his pick in. It's disgusting.
If this doesn't awaken all the go-getters who have spent years in patrol (on the street) and years in the det division bringing in suspects and witnesses and making arrests, I don't know what will. WE are getting slaughtered out there literally and we see some repeated computerized data now with a "different name". How dumb do they think we are? I've had it and I unfortunately have to count myself in as a first and 16 and do-nothing else person. Too bad for the victims because crime will continue to spiral out of control and they won't see any arrests or justice out there because I'm sure there will be others to follow.
Stay safe, protect your own home and neighborhood and God bless.

And he "worked" in 011 before leaving (as soon as probation was up) for IS.
MEDIA!!WHERE ARE YOU!THIS IS A JOKE!!4 YRS AND A COMMANDER!WE ALREADY HAVE THE DEPLOYMENT OPERATION CENTER FOR COMPUTER GAMES!!PROMOTIONS ON THIS JOB ARE ALL CLOUT!!THEIR IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!WE NEED A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP IN THIS DEPT!!THIS IS WHY MORALE IS SO LOW,AND POLICE GAVE UP WORKIN!!
I guess the budget isn't that tight now is it?
I mean we can't get copy cartridges for the printers and many printers are out of service because "there is no money", but we can promote someone with 4 years on the job making over 120K with a staff of four? It would stink just as much if the person had 20 plus years on the job. It's insane. So can we squeeze just a few more Directors and Commanders in? We are top-heavy enough. Budget-cuts my -ass. I'm thinking we are working in lala land.
Management 101. Look it up. We have idiots and jagoffs running this department.
This job used to be an honorable job. Not anymore. The clock is ticking and hopefully I'll retire after 15 more checks. I just hope that I'm still on to see the demise of Daley and Weis. Then we can all go out and have a cold beer and talk about all the good people that these two mental midgets have screwed.
Damn he took my spot! Are you people new? This will happen again and again, history repeats it self while the citizens of Chicago are dumb enough to allow it to repeat itself. Move along boys there's nothing to see here....
Can you post the infamous power-point? This guy must be a genius to predict crime in Englewood and Austin....who would have known.
if/kma
EARNED not given!!!!!
He doesn't even have a damn felony arrest!!! You must be kidding me
the wheels are off this dept and city are done and before it dies it will be suxed dry
this took KB snd the womens swat group off the radar- NICE
So they hire a fortune teller to predict where the crime is gonna happen? Hahahahahaha
How come the fortune teller couldn't predict the card game murder? What a fucking joke this department has turned into. Give me a break we've actually told the public that we now have a fortune teller working for us who will be able to predict crime. Weis you are an idiot!!!!!!!
And you want me to write more tickets because of a budget shortfall.
And pay this GOOF a Director's salary.
GFY
"Earned Not given"
Sure, kiss my fucking ass jodypweis.
Along with the order promoting Goldstein to Director there was an order appointing someone with the last name of Wortham to the department in a spot in the Supe's CAPS office. My guess is that would be a family member of the late Officer Wortham but I am not certain.
remember RONALD REAGAN won the cold war by threatening to spend on "star wars", maybe this whiz kid can star war the police into lowering crime. can I get one of those flying saucers with a laser gun!!!
SOON THIS DEPARTMENT WILL WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO GET DOWN TO BASICS!!!!

If you really think you're detective material, then use your brain. If they promote a few hundred detectives, we LOSE A FEW HUNDRED UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICERS.
I'd rather have more feet on the street than more detectives.
Oh, and you can use your 'waiting' time to brush up on your spelling skills. 'Thou' means 'you' in ancient-speak. 'Though' is likely the word you were intending to use. Report-writing is kind of critical for a detective.

Thank you BG for the post. JJ did not take this officer under his wing, he was brought to HQ by his buddy Roman who worked in the first deputy office. When Roman got removed BG was sent to ISD. He wrote a job opening description for asst at the superintendent office and became the qualifying candidate the very next day. Now he is promoted to director. Good luck to him and all but don't post stuff you don't know. If he really wanted to be a cop and dumped such a high paying job to become a cop then you only make people wonder why he spent so much time not doing any cop work. If he was so smart then why didn't his stuff blow crime out of the water and surprise the shit out of the city before he was promoted? It had to be working when a certain DS got dumped for all the crime in the city. Something is rotten in Denmark. Sell your story to the fish. I have 8 years on the job and even I'm not buying this BS. No promotion until it's earned what we are told. Good luck.

I find it hypocritical that the new superintendent was supposed to be here to stop corruption but the most corrupt demoralizing actions this department has seen has occurred on his watch.
stop being jealous you blue shirts, go get me some parking tickets, a few movers and of course 2 bus checks per tour.
And remember it's who you know on the CPD not what you know. Kids!
HA HA All the way to the bank CHA-CHING, Thanks Richie
How long does he have to wait before he is made 42 little mans chief of staff, head of CTA, and then the CPS?
The news media and public need to be made aware of this.
With King Ritchie constantly crying poor this is clearly a misappropriation of funds. This kid is still wet behind the ears,can't take a promotion test yet so what do they do?
Create a new made up unit and make him the director.
I heard there are 4 or 5 other P.O's in this unit and every one of them has 6 years or less.
I don't know how any of the brass at headquarters can look themselves in the mirror or take themselves seriously.The vast majority of this regime has got to go.
Just when you think this department can't sink any lower they go deeper yet.

Yea, it predicted Brett would be promoted if he sold his bill of goods to the fledster.
Can anyone tell me how I can do less than nothing?
Give me some tea leaves and a 6 pack and Ill predict where crime will be.
See the section under "Business Intelligence"
It seems that Goldstick isn't all that smart he stole the idea from Edmonton, Alberta and blew $200,000 in grant money to prove what exactly??? oh right! that he can talk some BS and the clueless mayor will by into it, sacrifice our safety and that of the citizens of Chicago, rather than hire more officers!

So tell me again cause the koolaid is wearing off.
How does Pre-dick-tive Analytics Group differ from the Chicago Police Departments:
CPIC - Crime Prevention and Information Center?
DOC - Deployment Operations Center?
R&D - Research & Development?
What the fuck are they all doing? I am sure if we dissolved those units we might get another two hundred officers back on the street and in beat cars where they belong!
With all the homicides it might make a great story!
It's the CHICAGO WAY
Same bullshit, different package. Lewin sold us this nonsense when he put together ICAM. Hubie sold us the nonsense with SPSS ripoff he "developed" for data mining. Now this. Its been tried and does not work.
I have 8 years on the job and even I'm not buying this BS. No promotion until it's earned what we are told. Good luck..
come talk to me in 011 days kid im not BG ask for LIFM.ill set yah straight and and I have more them 8 on
Jfled says
"Earned not given"
Nice huh
Now this is a good one! about time stick to police business.
I new Huberman in 24 this guy was never the police and he has fucked up every place they put him. Yet Carol Marin thinks he's wonderful why doesn't she do her homework?
Someone tell us whats this guys story.
Little TOMMY BYRNES- The dept made an additional first deputy spot for him. Mahur- and Tommy both held the same spot???
Anyone know how this happened?
This new program must be kick ass. Roll it out so we can use it. When does it start?
CPD No longer Chicago Police But CHOSEN PEOPLE DEPARTMENT. Thanks to the handful of Blue Shirt Cops that are staving off disaster in this city. The Leaders have no respect and treat this dept as their own playground. Well ponder this -tickets are down just imagine if nobody gets arrested any more either????? Enjoy Pride Cometh Before the Fall
Keeping in the spirit of history repeating itself, another one of Huberman's brilliant ideas was to merge CPD Information Services with OEMC. An idea that lasted only a couple of months and was separated again. Well the brilliant Commander of ISD J.L, Mr Field Force Strategy, has made his dream of working with OEMC a reality. And he did it with a cloak of secrecy. Although he wanted to do it with his company but was discovered by an insignificant blog, he is now the Director of Public Safety IT a newly created OEMC unit. He was supposed to head both Fire and Police but due to a butting of heads with the CFD, a counterpart was created just for Fire. He took all his staff with him as well, including a CPD Sgt and 2 P.O.'s So what was the point of the move except taking more people who should be working on the street?
So what does it alll mean? Well, now instead of having to wait weeks to have a computer or printer or application fixed, we will have to wait months since OEMC is not part
of CPD. So not only has the boy wonder been promoted, but his mentor was also made a Director. When will it end?

Wow are you full of shit!!! PUT DOWN THE KOOL-AID AND STEP AWAY FROM THE CUP!
This predictive analysis software program was highlighted in a Wired magazine fluff quickie years ago... There's no shame in trying this kind of thing out, but in this current crisis and having the Flee-anderthal pumping it and making a 4-year wonder the Minority Report-er, well this job just gets goofier & goofier! 15 years of Vaudeville and maybe no pension after all...
The department and city cry poor-mouth, but finds the money to create a commander spot for this 4yr wonder computer geek? The fucking ink wasn't even dry on his application when he went to HQ with an office and take home car! UNFUCKING BELIEVEABLE!
Yeah J-PUD and Richie, I'll get right on writing tons more parkers to create revenue so you can piss it away rewarding your political do nothing hacks! GFY!!!
I know it's going to be pretty hard to do less than the NOTHING I do now, but I'm gonna work very hard at it!
Hey his family has ties to the Pritzker family, leave him alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard all he really does spout ideas that have been already thought off by others in the past, but were dismissed because the original creators realized that the applications of these ideas would not work either because of economical, political, operational or other limitations. Apparently he has spouted these ideas to the current brainless leadership without any thoughts on how he is going to actually fulfill them. So he gets promoted and after several millions dollars are wasted we are going to determine that it was a complete failure but still we are going to pretend what a great idea it was. Remember CAPS how we rolled it out and spoke so highly of it and to this day how influential it is, but less face it CAPS has been a complete failure.
This is the work of MASTERS (x) and ROMAN (two-face) in promoting this so call wonder boy. It will take years to undo all the damage caused by these people.
He is related to Roman and his family is DEEP into political donations. So go figure it out...
What the f**k does j_fled know about being the police? He"s never been a copper in his life! He's not promoting these boy-wonders! It's that cheap little theif dick daley who is pulling the strings. Vote for him and his cronies again. You'll get more of the same!
So not only has the boy wonder been promoted, but his mentor was also made a Director. When will it end?

Thanks. I wondered about the budget line for Goldstick.
oh geez...you want a sergeant or lieutenant to run this group--is there someone with more experience? why? wouldn't this be a "meri-clout-orious" promotion--just because he/she is a sergeant?
i see, you would rather have some clown run it. one without any computer skills...or worse yet...know anything about putting together numbers (statistics), analyze them (analytics), and then attempt to accurately "predict" possible crime patterns (i'll let you connect the dots).
a one sememster business course can better prepare you to know what kind of information is needed to make managerial decisions--or, in this case--accurately assign more police officers to certain high-crime areas.
not very many sergeants or lieutenants have this training/experience--i know, first-hand.
congratulations to the new director. i really hope that this turns out well for him, the police department, and the city of chicago.
it would also be nice to see the fraternal order of police act like "brothers". to much in-fighting. makes me sick.

HA HA HA HA HA LUBERMAN
You forgot to mention where Huberman (L.T.H.S. Class of 1990) got all of his ideas, from his brother. The same brother that also happens to be Hubie's connection to a famous former law professor from U of C. Go lions!
Not true his juice is mother and daddy.
No wonder we are broke.
its not J-Fled its Daley
BUT WERE BROKE AND CAN'T HIRE ANY NEW COPS??????
This sounds like it's part of an IPRO project. At IIT, each academic year culminates in interdisciplinary teams comprised of students from different majors to do projects that use all the skills the students bring from their various
disciplines. Quite a few of these have been adopted by Chicago companies and organizations. This guy Goldstein doesn't sound like he could come up with anything more complicated than playing Windows Solitaire. Go look at IIT's major donors WRT Pritzker and others.

Lewin and Goldstein work with a broad array of solution providers who are able to provide both out of the box and customized solutions. Their experience allows for agencies to rapidly and effectively implement the solutions they need.
Is this new group called Force Strategy? Or is that the business he and Jonathan Lewin formed?
There's two things about most of the people in Data Systems.....Anyone hazard a guess as to what they are?
