I really should finish this project - I totally forgot about it:
''BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL INFORMATIONS SYSTEM
These tips will be used to start a special Bulletin Board
Service in the area.
(a few flowcharts and diagrams)
Let everyone know:
- What they're supposed to do
- When they're supposed to do it
- How others affect their job
- How what they do affects others
- Keep them current on how well they're doing
RESULT: NO SURPRISES

Always planning big. I just didn't get that corporation under me
yet to get these things done; and yes, I said 'yet' :P
