Based on a20-year investigation into more than 2,000 timing issues anderrors, When presents a single and practical approach fordealing with timing in life and business. Good timing, Albertargues, is not just a matter of luck, intuition, or pastexperience--all of which may be unreliable--but a skill.He describes that skill and details the tools and methods needed toconduct a successful timing analysis.
