Sent to GMU on 23 Oct 2000. I can't locate any accompanying IM Report that matches the date of this video. Also I haven't viewed the tape, so don't know much about it. Center for Interactive Management did 3 or 4 sessions for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) groups from 1986 to 1988.

There are some old CIM Archive files that I haven’t opened yet, which will still have summary reports for this material. As of right now, I think that the DARPA work was something about purchasing priorities, for some type of project, nothing very secret or very military, just an overview management of procedures and systems. Ray Chapman and David Keever were the ones who worked on it for quite some time, but Ray was not CIM staffer, merely visiting worker on this piece of research. I think John was hoping the DARPA work done by Ray would lead to further use of Interactive Management in DARPA, but that never happened. This was just one of many beginning efforts to get the Center for Interactive Management rolling with new contracts.
