So In planning department sys- tems or in passing judgment upon Systems- that others have planned the first and big step is to apply to every move that we make the philosophy that is involved in this often-repeated and often-forgotten axiom. Let me call attention first to the fact that this axiom presupposes two points: Before you can draw your: straight line you must know definitely and accurately,. where these two points are. Yqu mast know your starting point and 'the objective that you wish to reach. Many people at- tempt to draw ‘their paths of prog- ress without knowing definitely from where they‘ snu'] or' to where they want to go.
