   THREE GOLDEN RULES of Displayed Objectives:  [*] page 115

    1.  SEEING as a Group
        -----------------
	Objective must be realistic.            [*] age 116

    2.  KNOWING as a Group
        ------------------
	Objective must be precisely defined,
        with a predetermined level of accuracy. [*] page 116 

    3.  ACTING as a Group
	-----------------
	Objectives that are to be displayed must be included
	among the priority objectives that guide the
	organization as a whole.                [*] page 117


    NOTES:

    [*] from: "THE VISUAL FACTORY
               Building Participation through Shared Information"
               by Michael Greif
              (Productivity Press; Norwalk, CT; 1991)
	      (originally published in L'Usine S'Affiche!!!)

	      LOGISTICS IN SERVICE INDUSTRIES
             (Arthur D. Little & Associates
	      and the PENN State University
	      Center for Logistics Research)
	     (Council of Logistics Management; Oak Brook, IL; 1991)

    A few of the businesses that these ideas are applicable to:

    Archaeology, and ...
    Hospitals, Supermarkets, Warehouses, Highways, Libraries,
    Talking Machines, Abandoned Children, Telephone Companies,
    Retail Banking, High Tech Field Service Organizations,
    Schools, Package Handling, etc...

    Just because a business isn't mentioned in a book does not
    mean that the ideas aren't applicable to it.

    For example:
    Nowhere above will you see mentioned the Airline Business,
    yet not only do I know that Airlines are factories,
    but I also know a company (ADDAX in Cambridge, MA) that produces
    logistics systems for the Airline Industry.
    (I interviewed there once OVER A YEAR AGO but didn't land a job).
