Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for securing an object using a connection device. The systems, methods, and devices for securing an object using a connection device, for example to hang a decoration from a ceiling rafter, attach a strap to a trailer, or any other situation in which a connection device is needed, including for an owner to restrain pets using a leash without actually holding on to the leash. A device and system may include a loop constructed of a flexible material, wherein the material comprises a hole disposed therethrough and a connector including a frame. A portion of the frame is disposed through the hole of the loop such that the connector is releasably coupled to the loop and the connector is configured to receive a line.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for measuring and assessing an organization's business adaptability is provided. In one embodiment, a taxonomy comprising a hierarchical list of taxonomy indicators that captures organizational elements that can be used to measure an organization's responsiveness to change is created. The taxonomy indicators are industry specific. A set of weights associated with the elements of the taxonomy, indicating a relevant contribution of each element to an overall adaptability of an organization, is assigned. The set of weights are industry specific. An enterprise profile is created assigning a level of adaptability to each taxonomy indicator indicating where, in a range of scores from low to high, an enterprise rates relative to the relevant taxonomy indicator. An adaptability result of the organization from the weights, taxonomy, and enterprise profile is then calculated. The adaptability result provides a quantitative assessment of the organization's adaptability.
