Eugene Smith & Karl Henklemann

Eugene Smith & Karl Henklemann first collaborated while at the University of Idaho where they were independently trying to establish a methodology for demonstrating IT project performance, and hence a method of adjusting work on a project so as to achieve maximum benefit at minimum cost. Initially Smith’s work resulted in the J-D diagram, subsequently much used in the aeronautical industry while Henklemann developed the Transient Flow Diagram which became the de facto standard in fields as diverse as neuro-science, reverse osmosis and fluvial dynamics.

They later met up at a social event (details from various authors conflict over this) where they realised that by combining their methodologies they would be able to make a breakthrough which would revolutionise work in many fields. This resulted in the Smith-Henklemann Methodology and its associated Smith-Henklemann Diagrams (1 through 7) which are now recognised as the gateway to successful and efficient projects in virtually every field in the 21st century.
