First off, I have to wonder if this book is using the basis of Tech's Enterprise program as the frame for the first chapter. I realize that Tech isn't the only school with an Enterprise program (maybe), but the story seems like something that would happen at Tech. (The fast car enterprise should have mentioned that they needed alternate views on their projects that they couldn't supply while talking to the women. They would not have known this.)

That said, not all enterprises are the same, and the one I worked at seems to have read this book. This uses a very rhetorical approach, one that is very methodical. All the steps you need are laid out, and all the steps needed are fairly easy to understand. This is also a system that would help in a big way with pretty much all STC classes. We do hit on a similar system, at least for those who like systems. I'm not such a fan, myself, but even I follow a method that's pretty much the same.
