Thanks for the detailed notes. The next step is to develop an outline that
gives the work a sensible structure. I jury-rigged the current piece together
from other stuff to serve another purpose, then thought it might provide a
foundation for the book we have discussed. Two of your comments in particular
caught my attention. The attached notes consider your suggestion to introduce
the structure of communication early. I agree per attached notes. You asked
about the structure of human thought (the listing) that shows the progression
from small organic elements - I called them "bits" to correlate with computer
jargon - into larger mental constructs, resulting in "vision" that permits
looking ahead to anticipate and/or shape the future.
Second, below is a Reuter's press report of an announcement by IBM about plans
to market "business intelligence."
Attached is some analysis
for the purpose
of defining and distinguishing useful "business intelligence," from traditional
marketing hype. This kind of effort by a major player gives visibility to the
ideas in the book, and so may help build an audience. Again, your comments
would be helpful.
Sincerely,
THE WELCH COMPANY

P.S. Per our earlier experience, I zipped the two HTML files, so you can use
your Web browser. If this is more bother than it is a help, let me know and I
can put everything in a single text file.
