Notes:
-“Find a base camp and setup some anchors!” – adilas developer
-We had a good discussion about new features in adilas. A developer related growth in a business to climbing a big mountain. You climb to a certain level and then you rebuild supplies and setup a base camp. You then acclimate to the elevation. You do smaller side hikes but you don’t make the next real push until you are ready.
-The developer also had some great analogies about armies, war, supply chains, supply lines, strategies, etc. You build a base and then coordinate attacks from there.
-We need to establish an adilas base camp! This doesn’t have to be forever, meaning staying here, but we need to setup some anchors. This will help with peace of mind as well.

-Notes for me from Conference 4/5/14 to 4/6/14 for all of the notes, go back to that section in the front of this notebook.
-Help adilas users make their own reports and buttons. Let them save, assign, and name their own settings.
-Do emails every hour vs. every 10-15 minutes.
-Setup adilas so that it could do family history.
-Full time-based program that is capable of doing full dispatch functions.

-Notes from my sister – story from President Uchtdorf – Dealing with flying a plan and going through turbulence, some newer pilots think, if I go faster, I’ll get through it faster, but the actual best thing to do is to slow down to the optimal speed to get through it. (Summarized from “Of Things That Matter Most” – Pres. Uchtdorf)
-Idea from my sister – Get funding before we start on projects. That may take planning, but it will help to set expectations, timelines, and budgets. This may not apply to small projects but then again maybe it should.

Notes from a brainstorming session between my brother, sister and myself while at an adilas weekly demo session:

- “Layered sounds bytes” – think mini segments.
- We are breaking tradition and let us show you how. People love this. Help to set the stage.
- We take normal old data entry to the sci-fi level.
- Showing the data entry to the sci-fi level and how the data relationships crisscross and interconnect.
- Most people use tons of different systems… that in and of itself is a huge pain. The systems could be index cards, paper files, notebooks, folders, dockets, Excel files, Word docs, database systems, and tons of different software packages.
- Let people solve their own problems by talking. They may even sell themselves by vocalizing those thoughts.
- Write things down and then go back over them. This helps pull things back into memory.
- From my sister – The process of recording things actually brings far more light, truth, ideas, connections, and further insight.
- Also from my sister – Trying to express your thoughts, ideas and inspiration into words brings the opportunity for far more understanding and learning. Sometimes we even learn more on the 2nd & 3rd go around. Good stuff.
- Focus on potential vs. process.
- From my brother – Show lots of scenarios, show existing (and traditional) limitations and how we can help.
- Most people say – why can’t this do ______ (fill in the blank)? We all have needs, trouble, or frustrations… Well, you can do that and let me show you how!
- As a matter of fact, we can show you how you can do all of these other things you could do plus this and that. We can also help to automate 50% or more of that task.
- Where are your points of entry??? Here, here, here, etc. What does each station do? Is any of that process part of the same data? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pass things along so that you didn’t have to keep recording the same thing.
- Get the cool, graphical, slick interface in place. That will help a ton.
- Show how manageable this program is… simplicity and understand-ability.
- We can make this look just like you want it. Maybe even show some snapshots of different interfaces.
- We could even make it look like their old system and then add the powerful search capabilities of adilas.
- Tailor-ability – customizable – you control it!
- Use info graphics – think of 1,000 words in a series of graphics. No words required.
- Cater the demos specifically to the audience. Keep it laser focused.
- Show case what we have done to help other clients. Show what our clients have done with our system.
