He provides critical but thoughtful feedback on his and my performance and is always ready to contribute suggestions, no matter what the topic – be it on group mission, process, approach, technical or functional. The results of his work on the Hauser web site and his thoughtful contribution of ideas saw the Center raise its profile in the sector and helped push the Center towards adopting a more critical approach to use of web and social media.
