New Haven-Meriden, CT (1888PressRelease)
March 01, 2008 - Two years ago, at age 60, James J. Jones realized he could not continue forever traveling to Fortune 500 companies to train and consult on making and implementing decisions. Having worked in a partnership for over twenty-four years, he had no pension. He had to make a decision for the future of his family.
James has a Bachelors degree in Operations Management, and a Masters degree in Computer and Information Science, both from the University of New Haven, West Haven, CT. During his more than thirty-seven years of education, training, and experience, he thought about how to bring the kind of mission critical decision making and implementation practiced in large organizations to small ones. He decided it was now or never.
James sold his half of the business to his partner to gain more time to work on a virtual Internet site that could deliver world-wide decision implementation. During 2006, he split his time between working on the site and working for his old partner. During 2007, business dried up, which allowed more time to work on the site, but afforded no income to pay the bills. James had to use all his savings and sell all his stock to pay mortgages and bills. The good news is the site is finished. The bad news is he is facing foreclosure.
What is this decision making and implementation that helps large organizations get things done and allows them to grow? Decision making entails information gathering, alternatives analysis, and the selection of a course of action. Decision making is actually easy compared to decision implementation. There are thousands of methods and tools to help one make formatted decisions—decisions where all facts, information and outcomes are known. Formatted decisions are usually converted to procedures and business processes. In government it is called “bureaucracy”.
Decision implementation encompasses everything that happens after the decision is made until the desired outcome of the decision is realized. This includes all subsequent decisions required should anything not go as planned. There are very few means for helping one implement non-conforming decisions—decisions where the desired outcome will not be reached unless interim decisions are made correctly. People and organizations need help when the decision and desired result have never been done before; when the decision does not conform to any prior activity, and when the desired outcome is critical to the mission or existence of the organization.
Business decisions produce objectives for achieving some business outcome or result. Business objectives should be governed by the prevailing business rules. Business objectives must also be linked to the business, financial, and technical requirements that will ensure successful completion. Finally, each requirement must be constantly tested against the business rules to ensure that the mission remains on track and does not violate any rules. Given these guidelines, a single decision made by and implemented by a single person is a daunting undertaking. Try a decision that has to be carried out by several hundred people, speaking different languages, around the world, with reality changing on a daily or hourly basis. The Interactive Requirements service developed by Jones Logic helps manage the single person decision implementation as well as the world-wide, multi-national, multi-person, multi-language decision implementation.
The site offers unlimited use on a monthly basis. Subscriptions can be purchased on the Web Site through Pay Pal. (You do not need a Pay Pal account.) The service is priced based upon the number of user logon identifications (IDs):
• Sole Proprietor (1 User ID) $9.95/month
• Partnership (2 to 25 User IDs) $149.95/month
• Company (26 to 50 User IDs) $299.95/month
• Corporation (51 to 100 User IDs) $599.95/month
The virtual Internet site opens April 1, 2008. While the site is in English, the service is staged for world-wide use with instant conversion of content into any one of more than twenty-two languages. Internet site sneak previews are available now. Clients, marketing partners, and visitors can see what decision implementation should be through demonstrations and tutorials. The company is looking for businesses and organizations that it can provide service, consulting, and training to and demonstrate what this service can do.
