Abstract
Tools and techniques are widely used in many human endeavors, such as engineering, construction, banking, manufacturing, marketing, health care, sales, transportation, information technology, research and development, academics, legal, political and government establishments, just to mention a few.
All things are created twice; first mentally; then physically. The key to creativity is to begin with the end in mind, with a vision and a blue print of the desired result
—Stephen Covey
