Be Prepared, Making Meetings Productive
Intel Aids Diligence to Be Prepared

Rod,

[Responding to your letter pointing out that technology helps people solve problems, and for managers it helps be prepared for meetings which is a big problem in business ...] Tools help people if they use them! I think focus needs to be placed on a business methodology (Not much new actually), and then when people have a commitment to discipline, they will find the tools helpful.

Sincerely,


Morris
