10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>PS I should declare a vested interest , as
a mathematician I am one of 3 co-authors of a book to be published by John
Wiley summer 2004 called something like THE MAP – of trust flow,
transparent people relationships and corporate governance of future value. A
wee David & Goliath story: unfortunately we are going to be beaten to the
bookstalls by the opposite Balanced Scorecard Harvard camp of Kaplan and Norton
(Strategy Mapping) who are trying to connect strategy, map and human capital in
what I expect will be the opposite to my human meaning of transparency. THE MAP
seeks to present in the same facilitation kit a way of mapping back any big 50
global conflict and the way of mapping forward whether any particular global
1000 organisation is going to destroy another 10 billion dollars over the next
5 years by eroding what its biggest human deign was supposed to do. (Ask me at
wcbn007@easynet.co.uk for our draft pamphlet on 10 billion dollar audit if you
want to see how our maths <span class=GramE>open</span> sources). Finally, The MAP
links its minimum maths to an open register calling for every human
facilitation method, and indexing which of 10 value multiplying coordinates
that method is known to systemically connect together, in contrast with the
great separatist “need to know” professions of our recent past.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
