Abstract: A system and method for conducting an adaptive survey. The method includes transmitting a first survey to a primary respondent; receiving responses to the first survey from the primary respondent; transmitting a subsequent survey to secondary respondents, the subsequent survey including answers provided in the first survey; and receiving responses to the subsequent survey from the secondary respondents.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for generating a meeting efficiency index are disclosed. A receiver receives a request from an organizer to organize a meeting. A processor, operatively connected to the receiver via a communication network, accesses a database to obtain management data, organizational behavior data, and psychological data corresponding to the requested meeting in response to the received request. The processor applies an algorithm to combine the obtained management data, organizational behavior data, and the psychological data to determine a meeting efficiency index (MEI) for the requested meeting. The MEI is a normalized measure to determine how effective the meeting will be in achieving its purpose. The processor causes a graphical user interface (GUI) to display the MEI in conjunction with calendar item and receive input data whether to accept or reject the meeting based on the MEI.

Abstract: A system and method for distributed database data and file access and retrieval, and managing assets of a company can include the steps of obtaining one or more data elements, storing each of the data elements, determining one or more factors related to a manner in which each of the data elements was obtained, associating a confidence index with each factor, and calculating a confidence index for each of the stored data elements, as well as a composite confidence index for the entire data store, based on the confidence index score for the individual data elements. The system and method can include calculating a confidence index for each of the stored data elements. The factors can include the date that the data elements were obtained. The factors can include from which of one or more sources the data elements were obtained.
