The Ultimate Un-Biased Review Of The Truth About Abs Program

Posted on March 25, 2021 by dayat

Now with this review I’m going to break it down into three different sections.

First, I’m going to start off with what the product is, some behind-the-scenes looks at the product, and the background of the creator behind the whole scheme of things. Generally this will be where I give you quality information so you don’t have to go through all the muggy research yourself.

Second, I’ll talk about how this product helps you, the negative things behind it (if any), and if there’s anything comparable to it in existence.

Thirdly, I’d like to give you my complete honest opinion behind this product, and just pour out my honest thoughts about it, so you have a strong opinion behind this to base your decision off. I never want to give false information about a product, but rather I want to be completely open to you guys and help you out any way I can by either recommending it or not.

I want you succeeding with your Fitness Program and truly obtaining your goals, so if that means telling you that a product really isn’t worth your time, I’ll do that.

So, in case you don’t like reading millions of words (I often write too much), let me break down my four sections for review articles into a small list.

1. The basics of the product, what it does, the background, and how it work

2. How the product helps you, the negative feedback, and anything comparable to i

3. My completely honest opinion on the product and a run down of why I feel this way

The Truth About Abs Program

You may or may not have heard of this program but my guess is that you’ve heard of it some way or another. Now there are two types of audiences when it comes to this program: those who stray away from anything that has to do with this, and those who back this up 100% because they’ve personally seen success with this.

Now I’m neither one of these groups of people because honestly, I’ve never tried it and I don’t intend to. I’ll get into exactly why in a minute here. This program has a reputation around the internet, and it isn’t exactly bad or good. It’s just well-known because there are countless review of this program across the internet, and whenever you type in anything related to “six pack abs” this program will pop-up right in your face.

Nine out of ten times, it won’t be the real product sales page, but will usually be a review of the product intending to drive you to want to buy it from a link that they have on their personal review page. This is sort of a “spammy” tactic you see come along with this program a lot, and that’s the reason it has a reputation across the internet.

What Is This Thing?

This product is a complete fat-blasting, abdominals-developing program intended to help you achieve toned, six pack abs, or for women, just a flat stomach. It includes some great videos, dietary guides, and weight loss tips that are virtually unknown by most every individual.

The Author Behind The Program: Mike Geary

Mike Geary is the creator of this program and is well known for his expertise in nutrition and fitness. I’ll be honest, I haven’t personally tried the program, but I’ve read a bunch of reviews and success stories from this program.

Mike Geary has a BS degree from Susquehanna University and is honestly, a Certified Nutrition Specialist and Personal Trainer. I say “honestly” because you’ll hear of so many fake personal trainers and nutrition specialists out there who just use those two qualifications as a means of getting more attention to them. These kind of people are fake and need to get kicked off of the internet, permanently.

However, with Mike Geary it’s a different story. Out of all the reviews I’ve read and testimonials I’ve hear about, there’s been one thing that’s been consistent with this program. This is the fact that Mike Geary truly is what he says he is, and that he does have the knowledge to back up this program’s success.

Now I’m not saying this program is amazing (we’ll get into that soon) but I am saying that the creator behind the program does have a true passion for helping people and also knows what he’s talking about, since he went through that “fat stage” of his life.

And, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you can look past a program’s “testimonials” and all the hype around it and get to the true core of the program when you determine the kind of person who created the product him/herself.

Fun Facts About The Author Mike Geary

He’s been a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist for over ten years and has helped millions of people get weight off of their waistline. Being a Nutrition Specialist or Personal Trainer, or in Mike’s case BOTH, is an extremely commendable accomplishment and should say something about him.

He constantly is improving and developing his program according to the feedback he receives from customers and he’s put his program through multiple beneficial changes in order to develop a program that really works in getting rid of that belly fat. Constantly improving a product to help others more and more is just something you don’t see nowadays, so when I notice an author constantly updates his program or makes little tweaks here and there, it really gives me confidence in that person and their product.

Again, I’m not saying the product itself is going to revolutionize your life and you HAVE to buy it now, but I’m stating solid facts that affect many consumers’ decisions when they purchase products. This is my way of helping you decide if this program really is for you or if it isn’t. I don’t base my success on how many programs I can get people to buy, but I base my success on whether I helped someone make the right decision to benefit them and ultimately help them get to where they want with their health and physique.

Fun Facts About This Program

Now these aren’t by any means my way of trying to sell you the product, but it is my way of giving you some fun facts that you probably wouldn’t have found out about the product unless you went through me (all pride aside).

The first fun fact is that the Refund Rates for this program is less than 3 percent. Do you have any idea what this means? Let me put it into a good perspective for you. Only 3 out of every 100 people that buy this program end up returning it for the full refund. My point in sharing that with you is to show you that this really does satisfy customer’s wants and desires by helping them achieve their goals, since people are rarely unsatisfied with this program.

Secondly, this program is NOT, let me say that again, is NOT for undetermined, lazy people who don’t want to work hard. If you’re lazy and don’t want to work hard in getting fit, then I hope that one hit home for you, just being honest. I say this because the whole point of any Fitness Program to ever come into existence since the dawn of creation, was to make you work extremely hard to get results. No one said you can get toned, six pack abs by lying on your couch watching Disney Channel all day, although I love Disney.

You have to work hard to get anything you want out of life whether it be making money, getting healthy and fit, or even becoming an actor for Disney. This program is meant to make you work hard, because you won’t burn any fat or build any muscle at all if you don’t first realize that you have to work really hard. This isn’t just for this specific program but is for any other Fitness Program you’ll find on the market.

The last fun fact is that this program is completely proven by scientific analysis, trial-and-error methods and shows the success behind this program isn’t “assumed” but rather “proven.” Regardless of my personal opinion on this product (which I WILL get to) there definitely are commendable qualities to this product when you put it in the perspective of whether it will help you get real fat off your belly.

Now, we’re almost at the fun part where I spill my personal thoughts on this product and if it really is worth your money, so just hang on.

Overview Of Truth About Abs: The Meaty Content

Now that we’ve gotten through all of the fun parts, it’s time to dive right in and find out exactly what this program contains. I’m not going to hold back anything in this section because what I know is what you’ll know. What I mean is that everything I possibly know about this program (which isn’t much) I’m willing to throw out on the table for you, so you don’t have to purchase the product yourself to find out if it really works or not.

Many people out there will tell you that they can’t reveal too much because…No. I don’t believe in any of that because I see it like this. I should give you my full thoughts and knowledge about this product and give you any and all information that benefits you because I’m here to help you.

I’m not here to give you information that causes you to want more and end up purchasing the product, but I want to be as honest and transparent as I possibly can with my writing.

Now Mike Geary explains to you that you don’t have to perform thousands of sit-ups a day but instead introduces powerful exercises that target belly fat naturally. I don’t know exactly what these exercises really are, but I do know that if they’re Mike Geary’s exercises, then you better be prepared to work hard and get success.

Another thing with this program is that it gets straight to the simple point of fast weight loss (especially in abdominals area), which is that you don’t need fancy workouts that other people “stumble upon” but rather you need full-body workouts that incorporate high-intensity intervals.

I know this is very true as I’ve posted about high-interval exercising before and the connection between working hard and weight loss is definitely 100%. So, when Mike Geary states that you need full body workouts incorporated with high-interval cardio, he knows what works fast in terms of fast fat burning techniques.

The other main element to this program is that it doesn’t focus on unnecessary “crap” but instead tells you the “truth about abs,” literally. You get what you need in order to start trimming your waistline and Mike shows you exactly how to get this done by focusing your efforts on certain elements the lower your overall body fat percentage. Many programs cut out the most important element to permanent fat loss, which is lowering overall body fat percentage, but luckily Mike swoops in to save the day.

Positive Feedback For This Program

First of all, you can trust that this program really is reliable because it didn’t just pop-up overnight like many other programs out there. Instead Truth About abs has been reliable for several years now in helping people honestly get rid of their belly fat permanently.

One thing I always look for in possible purchases is the reliability of the product. I measure this reliability by seeing how long it’s been around, how many people return it for their money back, and the creator behind the product. Reviews have stated that you’re guaranteed to learn surprising techniques about destroying fat permanently and naturally through some surprising techniques that Mike doesn’t reveal in his intro video. Dang it I wish he would.

There are some elements that cause your stomach to be soft and flabby, when you could easily be avoiding these things on a daily basis, and this program focuses around that key concept and really drills certain elements into your head for future success with complete fat loss. The cool thing is that He doesn’t just get into the physical, tangible aspects of this program but he also gets into mentality and how it affects one’s ability to obtain success.

Unlike many programs, Mike truly aims to change your mentality to one that encourages success in order to help you be rid of that unwanted belly fat. Mentality is huge with anything, and it’s really cool that he goes past tangible aspects and also focuses on helpful mental preparation ideas and checklists.

One example of this mental strategy (which I somehow got hold of) talks about how many of us blame our work, schedules, and genetics for our fat belly, when in fact there are surprising factors that we don’t know of which increase fat build up. I really wish I knew exactly what those secrets were because I can guarantee you I’d pour them out onto this page for you, but unfortunately Mike keeps that confidential until you actually purchase the program.

The last thing about this program is that you have the option of paying $4 for the product instead of the full $35. You only pay $4 for a full 3 weeks to try it out and see if it really works, and the cool thing is there’s absolutely no risk with it. Yes, that may sound a little sketchy, but this is a legitimate offer with no catches.

So, if you’re deciding on maybe purchasing this product, just keep in mind that there’s no risk as you get your full money back guaranteed and you get a trial period for only $4.

Negative Feedback

While there are some commendable things regarding this program, I’ve also gotten some negative feedback regarding this product. Again, I want to be completely honest and open with you and share with you my thoughts about this product. Though at times it may seem like this, I really don’t have any intention of making you buy this program, but rather I give you insightful information to help you decide if this will benefit you.

Now the first thing about this program is that it is $35 (at the time I’m writing this). Regardless, that may change later down the road, but right now it is $35 which to many people is a lot of money. Now I will let you know you only end up paying $4 for a three week trial, so you don’t even have to pay that full $35 if you decide you don’t like the program.

Another negative thing about this program is that very little information is given out to the reader, even with the little introduction video on Mike’s sales page. I’d love to get more information on it, but the truth is that this program doesn’t reveal too much until you buy it. So we, as consumers, are left puzzled and confused as to whether we should buy the program based off of what little information was given out in the introduction video.

My Honest Opinion

The last thing regarding Truth About Abs is that you don’t need it. Yup, I said it, you don’t really need it.

Now you may be thinking, “Wow Jason you hyped me up with all of those cool features only to drop a bomb on me saying not to buy it?”

Well yes, I told you I was going to give you my honest opinion.

My goal in this whole article was to supply you with every little piece of information I could possibly gather about the Truth About Abs program and give you my honest opinion based off of what I know.

Now just because I say you don’t need this program doesn’t mean you should toss yourself off a cliff and forget the whole program. In fact, if you really think this program will help you trim your waistline and lose fat permanently, then by all means go ahead and purchase it, but I want to explain why I say not to purchase it.

Based off of what I know, everything that Mike includes in his program, is information that you can easily find on other blogs around the internet.

The honest truth is ANY program on the market will work for you, and I mean any of them, even the crappy ones. It doesn’t depend on the program, it depends on how hard you work and how dedicated you are to reaching your goals. Fitness Programs are just small tools to use to achieve your goals, so don’t get it all twisted and think that Fitness Programs like Truth About Abs are your only means of accomplishing permanent weight loss.

So, my honest opinion is to research the real ways to lose weight, put your wallet away, and pull out the only thing you need to get a flat stomach, hard work.

Eco-Efficiency in Policy Analytics for Program Management

Posted on February 25, 2021 by dayat

Although many people might see protection of IP as being counter to the ideal of a university’s mission to educate, nothing can be farther from the goal or truth of IP protection. Protection does not mean that others do not learn about the invention or discovery, it simply does allow the developer or inventor to retain the right to generate products from the invention. Additionally, because patents require a full written description of the technology, a patent is DESIGNED to advance the body of knowledge for us all. (Rondelli, 2014)

San Diego State University is closely tied to its community internally as a program manager and fund generating force as well as externally being a steward for broad community development and investment in the local environment.

The Technology Transfer program that has most bearing on San Diego State University’s environmental community is the partnership with the State of California’s Energy Commission Energy Innovations Small Grant Program.

The Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) Program provides up to $95,000 for hardware projects and $50,000 for modeling projects to small businesses, non-profits, individuals and academic institutions to conduct research that establishes the feasibility of new, innovative energy concepts. Research projects must target one of the PIER R&D areas, address a California energy problem, and provide a potential benefit to California electric and natural gas ratepayers. (Energy Innovations Small Grant Program, 2014)

This program is administered by Frank H. Steensnaes and is run from the San Diego State University Research Foundation’s office located at 6495 Alvarado Ct. Suite 103, San Diego, California 92182. The far-reaching effects of this program impact many academic institutions, private commercial enterprises, and civil organizations. The delivery of this program has influenced the energy and financial markets in California and throughout the country. To facilitate understanding of the regional environmental ecosystem surrounding San Diego State University, it is crucial for us to consider the broader sustainability perspective of the institution. San Diego State is dedicated to the delivery of social, ecological, and economic growth for it community and students.

Inspiration

Defining Sustainability

“In today’s world, the energy we use and the ways we use it are changing. For California to make the leap from the status quo to achieving climate and energy goals at the lowest possible cost, we need much more energy innovation” (Energy Innovations Small Grant Program, 2014). It is from this premise that the need to create a framework to provide program management that also adheres to eco-efficiency principles must manifest. This framework promises leadership in structure and outcomes, it also offers a paradigm for stewardship in business relationships so collaboration can move forward. It will be crucial that every step of innovation stake its inherent value to society by seamlessly adhering to social, ecological, and economic parameters.

Sustainability can be defined in terms of eco-efficiency. “In simplest terms, it means creating more goods and services with ever less use of resources, waste and pollution” (Development, 2000). By defining sustainability in this manner, we see the integration of people, planet, and profit into a workable framework. The need to provide a prescriptive methodology for adherence to specific goals and desired outcomes becomes a focal point not only for the Technology Transfer program, but also to my organization in harmonizing efforts to report and commercialize innovations.

Vision

In order to manifest our desired ending, we must first understand the state of the outcome before rushing to obtain that conclusion. The Research Foundation Technology Transfer program envisions a state of being that produces academic projects with economic value. The ability to foster innovation into real-world applications is the desired outcome. With unbridled capacity to assist students, faculty, and the community into gratifying and rewarding ventures, it is possible to provide the nurturing and profitable environments so many seek when pursuing higher education. San Diego State University is in the business of research, scholarship, and creativity. The execution of programs is measured in continued success as well as in deeper penetration into the local, national, and international arenas. Only by defining the ideal situation for the program can we begin outlining the steps in order to accomplishment. This top down approach works in many ways. The main benefit, of course, is the ability to empower participants to pursue more freedom and creativity.

By first defining the desired outcome, we can best serve the participants. Eco-efficiency promotes the concept of minimizing exploitation of scarce resources. It also examines the synergy of the built environment with the natural environment. Lastly, eco-efficiency mandates that increased economic, environmental, and equity can be monetized. By understanding lifecycle and intrinsic principles on embodied value, it is possible to reach the anticipated goals of the program. “Establishing framework conditions which foster innovation and transparency and which allow sharing responsibility among stakeholders will amplify eco-efficiency for the entire economy and deliver progress toward sustainability” (2000). By avoiding the deliberate sanctioning of paralysis by analysis, we seek to execute vision and not toil over procedure.

Ideation

The manifestation of eco-efficiency in program delivery is an innovative solution to unexplored opportunities in the field. “Eco-efficiency is not limited simply to making incremental efficiency improvements in existing practices and habits. That is much too narrow a view. On the contrary, eco-efficiency should stimulate creativity and innovation in the search for new ways of doing things” (2000). In order to view the constraints of adoption of eco-efficiency, we will examine Michael Ben-Eli’s five fundamental domains for sustainable development. The five domains (Ben-Eli, 2014) are:

The Material Domain: Constitutes the basis for regulating the flow of materials and energy that underlie existence.
The Economic Domain: Provides a guiding framework for creating and managing wealth.
The Domain of Life: Provides the basis for appropriate behavior in the biosphere.
The Social Domain: Provides the basis for social interactions.
The Spiritual Domain: Identifies the necessary attitudinal orientation and provides the basis for a universal code of ethics.
It is crucial at this stage to follow Ben-Eli’s framework to ensure complicity with the underlying inherent principles of sustainability as describes in the five domains.
Domain One: The Material Domain

The intent of the first domain is to examine the use of eco-efficiency in terms of resources. Eco-efficiency “is not limited to achieving relative improvements in a company s use of resources and its prevention of pollution. It is much more about innovation and the need for change toward functional needs and service intensity, to contribute to de-coupling growth from resources” (2000). As the Technology Transfer program redefines its policies of its relationship with resource orientation, it can begin by measuring the consumption of not only its operations but also the embodied energy and matter in the delivery of its program. This examination of the flow of resources is comprehensive, but considerate of the many stakeholders and functions it actually serves.

Domain Two: The Economic Domain

In this next domain, we ask ourselves the question of bio-spheric pricing and business rationale for incorporating the eco-efficiency parameters of sustainability in the program environment. “The business case for eco-efficiency applies to every area of activity within a company – from eliminating risks and finding additional savings through to identifying opportunities and realizing them in the marketplace” (2000). This is a vital area of opportunity for the program. In what metrics can the true value of its efforts be accounted? Will a redefining of success be needed or will its stated objectives of commercializing academic projects suffice? Will the private sector permit the augmentation and redefining of economic value in its dealings with the institution? It would behoove both institutions to garner more of the true value not only in one-off interactions but also in long-term support for initiatives whether large financial rewards are part of the project. The ability to create such metrics would facilitate the recognition of this domain.

Domain Three: The Domain of Life

It is of particular importance to define the parameters of this domain. How could such a program exist if the value of all forms of life were sacrificed for material gain? Diversity is the desired outcome for the program. It requires little work to understand the power and influence that this program may have on people. When considering how to define measuring these values, it becomes a more difficult task.

The following chart reveals the correlation of economic value, quality of life, and environmental impact:

Governmental Measures and Objectives (2000, p. 25)

“Our argument is that, by adopting eco-efficient practices, it is possible to decouple these trends so that, as the dotted lines show, the economy and quality of life continue to rise while resource use and pollution fall away. Indeed, by reducing the pressure on natural resources and the environment we will actually magnify the improvement in the quality of life” (2000). This program has the real ability impact lives and should-as part of its purview consider how the monetization of academic projects not only will affect its institution, but also consider the impacts to its participants. Not only will this understanding help divert monies and resources where the really need to be, but perhaps help it the technical assistance its participants receive. This consideration also promotes the diversity the school mandates.

Domain Four: The Social Domain

The fourth domain helps expand the role and purpose of the program. By incorporating policy that ensures its participants are tolerant, believe in fundamental truths, practice inclusion, and scholarship, the program moves closer to realizing its real purpose. “All these thoughts reinforce the still fragile idea that open processes, responsive structures, plurality of expression, and the equality of all individuals ought to constitute the corner-stones of social life” (2014). When considering the existing body of work from the program, it becomes clear that no such opus is demanded or required. It would assist in the ascertainment of true value to explore this concept of personal value systems for proper alignment. Eco-efficiency describes, “In several economic sectors, considerable costs caused by environmental pollution and social damage are still not included in the price of goods and services. Until this is changed, the market will continue to send wrong signals and polluters will have no incentive to change and adapt the performance of their products and processes” (2000). Of all five domains, the opportunity for most substantive traction can occur here. By thinking more holistically about the metrics of reporting, the Technology Transfer program could make headway by implementing solution in this domain.

Domain Five: The Spiritual Domain

This last domain entails the reconciliation of love in the workplace. Oft seen as disparate concepts with zero chance of coexistence, we must find some broader universal label to encompass the idea. The concept of servant leadership can be viewed as a solution. Barbuto and Wheeler in their journal article Scale Development and Construct Clarification of Servant Leader reflect that, “The integration of servant leadership principles in practice has less to do with directing other people and more to do with serving their needs and in fostering the use of shared power in an effort to enhance effectiveness in the professional role” (2006, p. 425). Empathy is defined as “the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another” (Dictionary.com/browse, 2014). A real opportunity exists to affect the spiritual being of the participants of the program. It would not need to a procedural policy but a social one. Servant leaders are more likely to be involved in a functional two-way transmission of energy and data. Not only do desired outcomes become more focused based on communication, but also the real success can then be measured in personal growth and actualization.

Implementation

As defined earlier, eco-efficiency promises leadership in structure and outcomes, it also offers a paradigm for stewardship in business relationships so collaboration can move forward. In terms of the program level examination, I have designed the following eco-efficient outcomes:

Use participant feedback and historic data to establish a decoupling point between the program participants and the program administrators for modification or enhancement to the EISGTTP/PIER.
Ascertain the criticality of sustainable practices within program delivery beyond funding mechanism into nontraditional economic evaluation
Several fundamental issues will be examined including the parameters of the change necessary to achieve stated program goals such as commercialization Outcomes and advancement of technology. We move from those goals to the reality of the outcomes, which measures the expansion of knowledge. This comparison would be deficient without consideration of secondary issues such as the recommendations to shape a more fulfilling program experience. Three layers of recommendations will be designed. The first layer consists of programmatic recommendations. The second layer is of non-programmatic recommendations. Lastly, we must include strategic recommendations to ensure the expansion of the accumulated body of knowledge.
I am undertaking a nine-step methodology in performing the examination for the program. The first step involves collecting technical data from the previous 13 years of the program. The next step will be to validate the data. Third step involves developing and stating a problem statement. The forth step involves conducting a root cause analysis. The fifth step involves correlating the data to the mission and vision of the program. The sixth step involves developing a corrective action plan (CAP) to mitigate, eliminate, or offset any discrepancies in the program. The seventh step analyzes the impacts of such recommendations. The eighth step involves coordinating stakeholders to share findings and receive feedback. The last step is to create a monitoring and reporting mechanism to introduce the traceability of future interactions with their clients.

In my definition of Ben-Eli’s systems thinking and cybernetics, it is clear that one must consider external and internal environment interactions in systems or grouping of systems called networks. From this point, we must consider the “regulation, adaption, and evolution” of response as defined by cybernetics to understand the relationship of first order/stagnation or and second order metabolism/diffusion of change with either open loops or closed loops of feedback. With first order change, the response only manifests itself on a combination of five possible dimensions: material, economic, domain of life, social, and spiritual (Ben-Eli, The Cybernetics of Sustainability:Definition and Underlying Principles, 2012).

As I reflect on the five dimensions, it becomes possible to implement plan of action for the overall examination of the program. Dimension 1 asks us to consider the material impacts of the program. The second dimension looks at human development in economic analysis, which is particularly salient in discovering one of the implementation designs of viewing program and individual success in terms beyond traditional financial metrics. The third dimension ensures diversity and connectedness in sustainable development. The fourth dimension seeks liberation of the individual from a global perspective. Last, the fifth dimension asks us to link spiritually in the actions of the program.

The communication process in examining the program for eco-efficiency involves a complete stakeholder analysis including a specific metric for social impact. In traditional program management, a stakeholder is anyone who can affect or can influence the program’s success or failure. The benefits of a clear communication plan include items such as management of uncertainty, scope, and change. When moving beyond the traditional definition of stakeholder, we seek the feedback of the community. As Edwards stated, “The Sustainability and Community principles encompass all the Three Es (ecology, economy, and equity) because they grapple with difficult problems whose long-term solutions require a systemic approach” (2010, p. 29).

The next issue to consider is the amount of education or training required to install a program-wide expectation of continuous learning. This issue is critical since as Orr told us, “Even if humans were able to learn more rapidly, the application of fast knowledge generates complicated problems much faster than we identify them and respond” (2011, p. 282). The institution of a set of best practices mandating a constant appraisal of worldviews while extending program benefits into long-term outcomes.

For guidance in the framework, we can seek guidance from a myriad of sources. One such resource is found in the data generated from other Program audits, reviews, and detailed annual reports of various technology university transfer offices, such as the Performance Audit of the Arizona’s Universities by the Arizona Office of the Auditor General, Report 08-02, May, 2008 and the Report of the Purdue University Office of Technology Commercialization, 2010. It is fundamental to use parametric information derived from experiences. By leveraging the compiled information, knowledge can then be extracted as best practices.

In the final structure of program examination, the importance of conveying the recommendations must be created. “To change the system so that it is sustainable and manageable” (2004, p. 3048), it is imperative to coalesce efforts of reduce redundancies while adhering to founding principles not of just the program but also to the tenants of eco-efficiency and sustainable development at large. With no procedural instruction, the malaise inherent to the human condition may diminish the productivity of environmental, economic, and social well-being of program participants. This task provides the prescriptive framework forward.

Conclusion

Time is of the essence. Let us focus on a deeper understanding of purpose and outcomes as the EISGTTP program manifests itself into a true value-bearing conduit. Overall, by acknowledging the constraint on resources, the possible monetization of non-traditional metrics, and focusing on people, we can create a better program. The level of change could systemically unfold by constantly seeking input from the external environment and just the internal view perpetually held in terms of success or failure. The program presents an opportunity to meld many desirable elements: technology, sustainability, and people.
