Thank you for letting me see the KCQA Round 1 Modified Delphi for Prioritization Reminder-ACTION REQUIRED document. To open it, I had to transfer the file to my laptop, because my Slackware KWord won't open .docx files. But it was worth the effort. I got the picture. Vieles wäre zu sagen davon. Most important: the remarkable quality of your relationship to DCI, to Doug Johnson and to his side-kick Chris Lovell. They obviously trust you and like you, and prefer to let you do the thinking for them. I had been reflecting much about individual "freedom of the will" and the manner in which language, i.e. statements of intention, statements of cause and meaning, are deemed to explain and to control individual action. "I plan to do this or that, because ..." I failed to do this or that because ..." The KCQA protocol projects such simplistic reasoning to the dimensions of organizations (social organisms) and suggests reasons for both its efficacy and failure. 1) (Unintended) secondary effects are likely to overshadow the intended consequences. e.g. the enhancement of your relationship to DCI. Almost surely for some other participants the consequences are the opposite, discord with ensuing corrosion of relationships. 2) The imperatives are necessarily so broad at best to require additional specification to be applicable to particular instances, at worst to be meaningless. 3) To the extent that they exert their effects by indirection, the consequences of all rules/guidelines are unpredictable. 4) The administrative cost of corporate control is substantial, and limits the effectiveness of the subject corporations; ein Grund, wie mein Vater zu sagen plegte, warum die Bäume nicht in den Himmel wachsen.
