How do those three topics merge together? Well, they merge together more often than one might think.
One of the greatest needs of standard businesses is employees who have the capabilities to follow extensive requirements accurately to produce a high quality product. What is not needed are employees incapable of solid science skills, poor mathematic abilities and independent minds that do what they want and not what is required of them.
In the public schools, we’re teaching ‘fuzzy’ math where answers on story problems can be “close enough.” Science education is often full of contradictions leading to a less than concrete understanding of how science really works. And a tendency of many students to choose to do what they want to do despite the rules and regulations.
Speaking as a person with bad ankles that may put me in a wheelchair, the last thing I would want is to be squished in a collapsing parking structure because an employee couldn’t do the math right and messed up the structural support requirements. I also wouldn’t care for the ADA laws and building codes to be ignored just because a person didn’t feel like following them.
So I do strongly prefer parking consultants like Desman that know what they are doing and have proven it. Whether it be planning, consulting, restoration, design, studies or transportation planning needs, the company that knows “close enough” is not good enough and brings their comprehensive and time tested skills to the table is the best one for the job.
But for Desman Associates to meet this goal, I must tip my hat to their HR department for continuing to hire the right kind of employee that knows how to do their thing. May they continue to do great so my future wheelchair doesn’t get caught in an unforeseen and poorly designed rut.
