Councils, committees and chapters, within one year, to identify

ongoing change process.

cooperate in developing a matrix planning and management structure
to achieve effective and efficient work so that our research effort
is better targeted to achieve objectives.
ASHRAE to make greater use of performance standards in parallel
with prescriptive standards.
ASHRAE to develop a standard writing process that allows full and
fair comment, but with a target of this occurring only once during
the process, and to shorten the process of developing standards
from five years to two years.
Society to develop relationships with other construction related
organizations worldwide to further enhance ASHRAE's prestige.
Chapters and Associate Societies to develop relationships with
other organizations, holding joint meetings and sharing common
memberships to improve the quality of buildings and to enhance the
community of the construction industry in all its facets.
ASHRAE to develop programs and cooperate with outside bodies to
develop programs in all the "soft" aspects of ASHRAE
members activities.
ASHRAE to examine in each group that which makes the community of
ASHRAE strong, both technical and social, and build upon this
strength.
Chapters to retain members during a career break.
To understand this Englishman’s strategy and apply it
worldwide.
