USING THE TECHNIQUES

Let me close by emphasizing the importance of consciously
planning to use these techniques. These techniques are ex-
tremely helpful, but only if you use them. Read them first,
then formulate a plan to use them and integrate them into
your problem-solving efforts, those of your work group, and
if possible, those of the rest of your organization. Be com-
mitted to using them.
