Although I would still love simpler MIS, I sensed an understandable range of opinion of what was "simpler" and whether "simpler" was better. Although I planned on forging ahead and providing something for everyone's review, I found a single year of IBL experience and time constraints were not a great combo to reimagine MIS.</div><div> </div><div>I did take a pretty mediocre shot at making an Excel version of MIS. Frankly, I am going to jettison it for this year and just go with the standard wall of text MS Word approach. But since you asked, and since I know it's not good so no feelings will be hurt, I've attached it in its current "form" with some placeholder content. Basically, I wanted to create an index (see the first tab) that would allow owners to determine in one look if more specific instructions were necessary to consult. I would have better organized the index and add hyperlinks so that you could double-click on a cell and would be taken directly to the relevant tab. Would also organize in decision tree order (like many of you do - PR first, then PH, then .....). Then would make the more specific instructions as lean and clean as possible.</div><div> </div><div>It has a long ways to go to be "simpler" and better, and I'm not sure it would ever get there. But I might keep trying to poke around with it in the future. Unfortunately for now, no better mousetrap in Minnesota.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks all.</div><div> </div><div>- David</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 9:16 AM, Noel Steere <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:noel.steere@rcn.com" target="_blank">noel.steere@rcn.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">There was discussion a couple of months ago about creating a simpler version of the MIS that we'd all use.
