This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Today, Microsoft released to the public the product guide for Community Technology Preview #3 of the upcoming release of SQL Server, code-named "Denali.". I had the opportunity in the Spring to see some of the new capabilities of this release of SQL Server, including the (most interesting/exciting to me) reporting tool called " Project Crescent." Many attendees at this year's Convergence, Tech Ed, and WPC events got to see it included in some of the sexier demos at those events.

For the last decade I have examined and applied social network analysis in and across organizations, for example in large professional firms , technology purchase decision-making , high-performance personal networks , and other applications. The more time you spend with the analysis of social networks in organizations and those firms that have applied the techniques, the more evident the power of these approaches.

Back in the late 1990s I did considerable work applying scenario planning to financial risk management, using qualitative approaches to managing risk as a complement to quantitative methodologies such as Value at Risk.
