I started to work on the next assignment last night.    It roughly needs to cover the following:

• Analyse the existing causal models between what is measured from a performance appraisal point of view and what the objectives of the organisation are.
• Propose a model through which systems thinking can enhance the alignment between measurement and objective outcome, thus narrowing the gap between the organisational intent and its behaviour.

My employer has a relatively complex appraisal method, so it will be interesting to work this one through.

I have just completed and submitted my "Introduction to Futures Studies" assignment.   I based the assignment around a "Prognosis for Tanzania".

The assignment was not easy.   I have spend hours and hours on it.   It was fun to do it, but it included a huge amount of late nights and busy weekends.   I even had a sleepless night or two!

I am tired and am looking forward to the long weekend ahead.   Well only the weekend and then the next assignment starts.   ... and I do this because?...    :)
