When we did a client review in 8/95, we chose TurnOver and SetTurn 
because of tight integration between the two. Both Aldon and Silvon 
offered methods of promoting ADK action diagrams, but they were at the 
time not as elegant, IONSHO. With TO, we didn't have to teach short-term 
consultants everything about the CMS, just their small part, and they 
could carry it through.

Don't know whether any work has gone into improving these offerings 
since, but would doubt it, given the downplaying ADK has gotten from its 
parent. TurnOver/SetTurn has worked well for us through thousands of 
promotions, many made by a large staff of ex-mainframers and consultants.

But by reshaping the meeting environment, by redefining its ecology, one 
can dissolve many of the barriers to fruitful collaboration. In many 
respects, it's easier to get results by changing the environment than by 
trying to persuade people to behave differently. -- Michael Schrage, No
