In the last several months you should have received an announcement about
our new microcomputer workshop. Middlesex Research Center designed this seminar
especially for government managers and administrators who need to know how to use
the power of small computers. By working closely with line managers and adminis-
trators in virtually every sector of the Federal government, we have been able to
prepare a seminar that is both timely and responsive to the needs of the govern-
ment manager.
Each of the seminar sessions has been enthusiastically received by the
attendees. This is a sample of the reaction of some of the attendees:
"The entire course was well put together ... class size about right and
availability of equipment, good."
"You provided a lot of good information in an unbiased manner in a short
period of time - Well done!"
"Excellent update on the state of the art."
The enclosed brochure provides summary information about the seminar. We
are limiting each session to 30 attendees so that you will get as much hands-on
experience as you need. Since many of the workshops have been sold out, please
do not hesitate to call in your registration (342-1170). We look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
MTMI FSFX RFSFARrH r'FNTFR _ _ TNr.

You Can Learn To Use The New Desk Top Microcomputers!
The current generation of microcomputer is inexpensive, powerful and, most importantly,
designed to accommodate managers with no computer background. The technology is ready,
and governmental managers are beginning to utilize this powerful new tool effectively in their
own operations. Middlesex Research Center presents a comprehensive, hands-on introduction
to microcomputers in its seminar.
A Hands-On Workshop
This is not a course that focuses on the "bits,
bytes, bauds" and other technical aspects of com-
puters. A computer will be provided for each two or
three participants so that each individual attending
will gain actual experience and confidence in using
the computer to solve a variety of problems that
frequently face the governmental manager.
The instructional staff will guide you through
each of the steps necessary to build office budgets,
track expenditures, forecast program activities,
develop reports, plot statistics, and transmit data.
The examples and exercises used in the workshop
will be case studies drawn from governmental expe-
riences.
The Government Line Manager responsible for a
program or a functional organization - not the
computer specialist!
Executive and line managers with little (if any)
previous computer experience are finding the per-
sonal computer,or "micro" to be a powerful tool in
assisting them in managing their programs and
organizations. Managers at all levels are using per-
sonal computers to plan and budget their programs,
to provide accurate and rapid answers to "what if?"
questions, to transmit data and reports among
regional and area offices, and to keep track of a
wide variety of information from telephone numbers
to legislative hearing schedules.
Using "user friendly, off-the-shelf" software pack-
ages, managers are able to utilize personal compu-
teres in their day-to-day activities with little more
effort than that required to operate a hand-held
calculator.
What You Will Learn:
^ How to operate a personal computer and
such accessories as printers, disk drives,
and telecommunications modems.
^ How to use such "electronic" spread sheets
as Visicalc or Supercalc in laying out pro-
gram plans and developing organizational
budgets.
^ How to construct simple analytic models
that permit you to address the potential
impact of a wide range of assumptions and
"what if?" questions concerning your pro-
gram.
^ How to establish data files that can be
readily accessed and easily transformed
into the report formats that you specify
and select.
^ How to use graphics software to build proj-
ect schedules, construct graphs, and plot
trends.
^ How to use personal computers to transmit
data and memoranda around the office or
across the country.
^ How to use personal computers to handle
such day-to-day information needs as tele-
phone listings, suspense files, status of key
projects, or maintenance of up-to-the-
minute budgetary "cuff" records.
