Replying to LO28592 --
OK but there's one hell of a missing link somewhere
America's got better at quality through NIST and Baldrige
But not to put a gloss on it, corporate leadership integrity has gone
walkabout in many cases; greed at the top and lack of total stakeholder
transparency is now worse than in the years of junk bonds
And companies don't have measurements in places as learning organisation
systems which get any share of voice versus quarterly numbers ( I have
never seen so many viciously spiralling organisational systems in 30 years
of trying to mend the beasts)
And you don't need to read this English guy's lips try Bush's at

Anyway's were taking testimonies on what to do about this (250 word
co-content managed scripts by anyone who feels its time for human beings
to put responsibility back into corporates, any which way) starting early
