My idea for a trust metrics project

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Just as a fun little experiment in connecting the dots, I’m thinking about writing an Excel-driven application based on Maister’s trust model.

According to David Maister, there are four progressive levels for professional services: needs-based, problem-based, relation-based, and trust-based. Under each are some more details that will lend themselves to an Excel spreadsheet.

Specifically, I want to use the dials from Google and somehow link it to Excel through my own Excel services-like wrapper.

I'm studying Excel Services

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

I’m studying the much heralded Excel Services. It occurred to me that the web services component, Excel Web Services, makes it truly possible to share development across the business and the enterprise developers. That is, a lot of analysts in the enterprise are very good at developing fabulous spreadsheet, but until now there hasn’t been a scalable way to get that knowledge into production.

Studying this also makes clear to me the rather stark difference betwen legal and technical writing!
