201102 - Wishing Doug Bon Voyague on His Trip to Washington
201103 -
201104 - This evening I called and talked to Doug, following up our
201105 - telecon on 001119, which is not in the record, but is mentioned on
201106 - 001121 in connection with submitting terms for the team to use SDS,
201107 - which were discussed with Doug on 001119. ref SDS 9 XU8I
201108 -

201110 - receive his award of the National Medal of Technology, reported on

201119 -
201120 - Doug said he is searching for ways to leverge his award for advancing
201121 - KM.  He feels frustrated, because of slow progress, particularly
201122 - getting through to people the core of the task.
201123 -
201124 - We considered that frustration is borne from Doug's experience which
201125 - enabled him to discover that traditional knowledge work can be
201126 - significantly improved for saving time and money, explained in the
201127 - letter to the team about KM, ref DIP 1 007H, submitted on 000920,
201128 - ref SDS 3 2V5F  However, Doug's insight can only be transferred by
201129 - enabling others to gain similar experience, per our telecon on 001119
201130 - (reported on 001121, ref SDS 9 HH9M, and letters to the team on
201131 - 001004, ref SDS 5 WV4K, explaining the dilemma of deferred rewards.
201132 - ref DIP 2 MH6J, which reflects the difference between information and
201133 - knowledge, explained on 990527. ref SDS 1 1233

201135 -     [On 001130 letter to Henry and Jack cites this discussion.

201138 -     [On 001130 second letter commenting on Jack's 3-layer architecture
201139 -     explain need for theory of knowledge and fostering culture of
201140 -     knowledge. ref SDS 13 HC4J

201143 -     sponsored by KMCI, to develop theory of knowledge. ref SDS 14 ME7O
201144 -
201145 - Information seems to bring immediate rewards, it is hear and now.
201146 - People sense they can take action with information, and are ignorant
201147 - about time and money that is saved by investing time to create
201148 - knowledge, due to inexperience.
201149 -
201150 - Knowledge requires investment of time, and so a cost, to improve the
201151 - innate intelligence process that converts information into knowledge
201152 - for ensuring good decisions which impact future events, and thus
201153 - rewards are deferred.  Until you gain experience showing this
201154 - investment is worthwhile, there is no basis to value deferred rewards
201155 - of knowledge above seemingly immediate rewards of information.
