[NLA] Return on Investment

[AWilder106@aol.com]

Ira,

There is a strong cse to be made for the return on investment way of thinking, and Tom Sticht makes it best, he made it again maybe 6 weeks ago--I could be wrong on the timing.

Coupled with other measures I like the ROI use. It is also flexible--what is the outcome (whatever measures) for x amount of input.

Yes,I know it makes people really angry when I use it on this list, but there you have it.

I use it in my own life, I find it useful. 

The main criticism is that it turns people into commodities, I don't buy that, so I think it is useful to use along with other measures.  It takes work, though.

Its use does not negate anything Debbie says.  Instead, I might  want to ask a questioner:  What does that phrase mean to you?  People mean diffrent things by  the phrase.

You asked if there are other views, and, yes, there are.

Andrea
