Did Oprah’s first webcast class of “A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”, set a new World Wide Web record? 1,860,000 streamed or downloaded it within 1 week. Have you listened to the Flavor of Life? Many likely have not; however click the link and look at the numbers reported by Wikipedia about the Flavor of Life, and then imagine the potential of the Internet and the new records and improvements to quality of life that could be related before, by and beyond 2020. For example, imagine how the United Way is and can be increasingly enabled by software, technology, information, the Internet, and pros and public coming together increasingly as one to be of help to others. This way, this unified hand, could potentially increasingly enable harmonization around initiatives of high purpose. In general a united way is a good way. It can increasingly enable a helping unified hand with far positive reach. In any event, some good news reported today by Tony Bradley (see: Microsoft and Nortel Strengthen UC Partnership; IBM Pledges $1 Billion Investment in Unified Communications). A positive open unified interoperability of people and machines is on the rise and may even lead to unimagined goodness from various perspectives.

Progress

Coming 7 November 2007 Inherent Quality Simplicity. It is a book for everyone. It is about progress and ensuring value for others, and recognizing the power of individuals and teams. Everyone is touched by software, technology and information. IQS is in final stages of edit. It will be available to the public on schedule. Clean energy, elevated interoperability, greater simplification and harmonization and an overall elevated net IQ. Start thinking now about perfect vision leap year 2020 and beyond in order to help creatively mature and innovatively embed a mindset for joy and continually evolving quality, value, excellence and simplicity upwards and inwards. As today’s IDG Connect Summer Resource Alert puts it, as summer starts to wind down it’s time to get your toes out of the sand. This gem found within the same alert might also help you open your mind, “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home”. Stated in 1977 by the President of Digital Equipment, time has since shown that clearly there was. In the future this will more so be the case. Every person today and more so in the future can contribute to evolving quality through a connection with and usage of software, technology and information. IQS is for executives, professionals and all who produce, help create, purchase and see that their quality of life is touched, improved or impacted by software, technology and information. The world has been evolving since the beginning of time. As a result quality today is more so inherent. In the centuries of the future this will increasingly be the case. Related discoveries will continue to produce higher and higher levels of value, excellence and simplicity.

Excerpt from Inherent Quality Simplicity

…Desiderata is plural for desideratum, something that is desired or felt to be essential such as an inner practice which helps each person go beyond their ordinary thoughts and progressively attain greater enlightenment and become free from self projections. Unencumbered by ideas the enlightened will see that it is in giving that we receive…

Thank you for this read. Very well done!! Inherent Quality Simplicity is a must read for anyone who recognizes Quality is a cornerstone of any business. This is especially true in IT where applications are built one on top of the other. Managers will begin initiatives immediately to work towards implementation of tighter Inherent Quality policies. I have reserved copies of the book as when released I will be giving one to each of the department managers. - Len Conlon, President & CEO, AllYourRetail.Com

Enjoyable book! Packs a lot of inspiration into 100 pages! Well Done! - Norah Topping, BSc, MBA, ISP, PMP, Topping Systems.

Ron addresses the essence of achieving quality. You have to start at the beginning with not just a process but an attitude. As in most things, the proper attitude, commitment, and desire to keep it simple leads to exceptional results. This is true not only of the software this book will help you build but the book itself. - Dan Pritchett, addsimplicity.com

We aim to increasingly ensure viip (value-inherent, intrinsic and pervasive) through the innate effectiveness and quality embedded within our products and services. - Terry Nelson, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, PROFITsystems, Inc.

Ultimately we strive to continually evolve quality from many perspectives including progressively instilling greater levels of viip (value-inherent, intrinsic and pervasive) within the steps of everything we do to energize employees, customers and socially responsible profitable business. - Cecil Smith, Senior Vice President, CGI Atlantic

Excerpt from Inherent Quality Simplicity

(about an Inherent Quality 123 slide workshop)

…the deck provides many facts from industry think tanks on IT trends as well as a big focus on enabling an IT community of practice - something that should be embraced by various professional organizations; much of what is recommended in the deck is already underway within Bell Aliant including within our test center of excellence. The deck also includes some interesting points on expected skills shortages and trends in the types of skills that we and others will need in IT in the future. - Ivan Toner, CIO Bell Aliant Regional Communications LP
