Advice to Senior Management

The senior management does not know how to handle development projects. They are moreso inclined and knowledgable with regards to handeling and managing localization and testing projects. The downside is that not many development projects are arriving and even the ones that arrive, most of them don't function properly and the client leaves for greener pastures.
