Miller’s law

Argument introduced by Miller, G. A., suggests that the number of objects an average human can hold in short-term memory is 7 ± 2.[1] From a practical standpoint, this means that information designed for quick perception must contain no more than 9 elements @ each level, when planning strategy, workflow, process map, container strategy etc. […]

workflow management system

Workflow management systems allow organisations to identify and control activities associated with a business process. Effective workflow management offers the opportunity to measure and analyse the execution of the processes consequently allowing continuous improvements. Workflow management systems are often applied to routine, repeatable activities associated with the business processes and can be integrated with internal […]

carbon sink

A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that captures and stores morecarbon than it releases. Examples include forests, oceans, soil and potentially timber buildings. We need these reservoirs to capture existing atmospheric carbon at the same time as we need to reduce our carbon emissions to turn off the tap and stop pouring […]
