I just returned from outer space having spent the morning at the EROS (Earth Resources Observation and Science) Center talking Measurable Management and looking at live images of the earth from outer space. EROS also known as the US Geological Survey is a Federal Government operation that uses space technology to find out about the earth.
I looked at the devastation in Haiti and saw in unbelievable detail the ruins of the Presidential Palace up close but from way above the earth.
I saw flooding caused by deforestation and a huge scar on the earth's surface approximately 50 miles wide running through South Dakota left millions of years ago by an ice age glacier.
It really is incredible what you can see if you stand far enough away from it. If they decide to implement Measurable Management the scientists at EROS can use it to look at their key issues in the same way that they use the satellites to identify the problems on earth. It will allow them to stand back and get a clearer view of the problems.
