One of the folks I work with presented me with the email below. I know some of you people out there are either employed by or know people at Microsoft. Is anyone familiar with the concept and form mentioned below? Care to share?
"Essentially, for many years, Bill Gates has gone into seclusion for two, one-week "Think Weeks" a year where he takes hundreds of 'papers' that his employees have submitted on new ideas for the company and reviews them. . .I have read about this several times and was wondering if anyone knew anyone well enough at Microsoft to ask them if they have a form that the employees use to create the 'papers' that he reads or is it up to the individual submitting the idea the format? If there is a prescribed format, would your friend send us a sample? When you think about it, there are a lot of people in this organization with a lot of good ideas. Possibly we would get more of those flowing up through the ranks if we had a form that helped people assemble their thoughts and provide their insights in an organized manner. Surely Microsoft through encouraging this has come up with a form/format that helps people assemble their thoughts and provide a sufficient level of detail to understand thoroughly what they are speaking to." If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. - Doug Larson ________________________________ Paul ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
