would use input from employees (gathered by asking questions
that have a scaled response, such as 5 for very likely, 1
for not at all likely, and so on) that zeros in on, say, the

has, as one benefit, a reduction in such requirements, the
process will be able to assign a hard-dollar value to at least
one aspect of employee empowerment.

are broken into smaller and more manageable parts. Milestones
