0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0000, ref SDS 9 0000.
060702 -
060703 - John has viewed Engelbart's Colloquium on 000106, and has discussed
060704 - with Ed Swanstrom at KMCI.  He offered suggestions today on developing
060705 - collaboration.  John will contact Ed to facilitate my calling about
060706 - Com Metrics.  John's work fits the POIMS model of people, process and
060707 - time.  I urged him to review POIMS and let me know if the SDS record
060708 - on the Internet appears to deliver useful "intelligence." This
060709 - provides criteria for collaboration.
060710 -
060711 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record and to the POIMS paper
060712 - and Doug's paper on CODIAK. ref SDS 7 8064

0611 -
061101 -    1.  John has not yet read POIMS. ref OF 1 0001
061102 -
061103 -        We did not discuss the record for the KMCI meeting on 991217.
061104 -        ref SDS 5 0001, submitted with my letter, ref DIP 2 0001, on
061105 -        991220. ref SDS 6 0001
061106 -
061107 -        It would be helpful to get John's comments on the utility of
061108 -        the SDS record on the Internet.  On 991216 John's letter cited
061109 -        preliminary approval of SDS methodology, ref DRP 1 0001, based
061110 -        on minimal experience. ref SDS 4 6720  Does further experience
061111 -        support the first impression, as reported by Dave Vannier at
061112 -        Intel on 990907? ref SDS 3 0149
061113 -
061114 -    2.  John read the record on 991222 reviewing Doug's paper on CODIAK
061115 -        which forms the foundation of the Colloquium. ref SDS 7 5360 He
061116 -        mentioned an earlier session in October, and possibly one last
061117 -        year which led to the current 10 week program.  This shows
061118 -        growing awareness of the need for Knowledge Management.
061119 -        ..
061120 -        John listened to the Colloquium via delayed broadcast
061121 -        following the first class on 000106.  He cited Doug's strategic
061122 -        vision about the big issues facing the world in the coming
061123 -        period, which might be summarized as "complexity."
061124 -
061125 -        We discussed briefly this afternoon the "New World Order Needs
061126 -        Old Time Religion" paper that explains the cause of complexity
061127 -        is information overload which leads management to implode.
061128 -        ref OF 2 8303

061140 -        powerful advance on alphabet technology, ref OF 1 3742, that
061141 -        supports a new management process for "intelligence" to meet
061142 -        this challenge of new realities. ref OF 1 0582  However, in
061143 -        order for technology to have any hope of improving management,
061144 -        leadership by people, like Doug and John is essential.
061145 -
061146 -    3.  John recognizes need to develop pilot test opportunities cited
061147 -        in the letter to John, ref DIP 4 0001, submitted on 991226.

061153 -        John has not done any work with Steve Tennant, but feels he is
061154 -        the right place to start.
061155 -
061156 -        I will follow up with Steve.

061158 -        Kaiser, per telecon with Tom on 991213.
061159 -
061160 -            Did not discuss Kaiser because we have not heard from them
061161 -            for awhile.
061162 -
061163 -        PG&E and Intel - did not discuss collaboration on pilot
061164 -        testing for these organizations.

061178 -        Management.  John recently provided his notes on Engelbart's
061179 -        Colloquium, to Ed, and so will be contacting him to follow up.
061180 -

061190 -        perspective supports Christensen's view of empathic design and
061191 -        marketing, reviewed on 990527. ref SDS 2 3034
061192 -
061193 -        John feels Ed might support Com Metrics.  He will notify Ed
061194 -        that I will call him.

061197 -
061198 -    4.  Collaboration with local KMCI people can develop from "cluster"
061199 -        meetings.  We reviewed goals for common support discussed at
061200 -        the KMCI meeting on 991217, ref SDS 5 0877, and cited in my
061201 -        letter to John, ref DIP 2 5695, on 991220. ref SDS 6 0001
061202 -
061203 -        John suggests I attend a few sessions of a smaller Bay Area
061204 -        KMCI group.
061205 -
061206 -        He will let me know when the next meeting will occur.
061207 -
061208 -        John's work focuses on people and process.  He develops system
061209 -        architecture.  We reviewed correlation with POIMS that presents

061218 -        Grove points out that a key attribute of leadership is learning
061219 -        which requires study. ref SDS 1 3495
061220 -
061221 -        A key question is what to study in the face of information
061222 -        overload, cited by Doug in the Colloquium on 000106.  Welch
061223 -        proposes starting with POIMS, and then assessing the extent to
061224 -        which the promise of delivering useful "intelligence" on the
061225 -        Internet is met by Welch, as for example in this record.  If
061226 -        this looks promising, then the forces of change can rally to
061227 -        this endeavor.
