One of a group of videotapes filmed during Interactive Management workshop for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in 1985-1986. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and the Nominal Group Technique assisted NMFS executives define and structure anticipated problems for the 1990s, as well as clarify long-range goals and options for the redesign of the NMFS in the future.

This VHS cassette, labelled (#6) appears to be the first of a GROUP of VHS cassettes for November. The label and numbering system on the NMFS cassettes is confusing. Perhaps CIM staff used different numbering systems to mark the tapes, on different days! Perhaps some of the cassettes have been lost when the office was moved. I don't know what the #6 means. Also, there is a big master tape cassette, size 3/4 inch, with the label “National Marine Fisheries Service (3/4 INCH TAPE) November 1985 (SESSIONS)” possibly the master tape for all the VHS November videos.
