651676 - ..
651677 - Improving competency requires a culture of knowledge that changes from
651678 - reliance on information, to formulation of knowledge, by transitioning
651679 - from IT to KM, explained in a letter to SRI on 001011, ref DIP 2 0001,
651680 - and reviewed on 001114. ref SDS A4 V4RK However, improvement is
651681 - impeded by a favorable economy, despite Andy Grove's call to invest
651682 - sunshine profits for experimenting through pilot testing to discover
651683 - better methods. ref SDS 71 3416 Andy's other point that successful
651684 - people are unwilling to admit the magnitude of the problems they face
651685 - (see 980307, ref SDS 72 2648), prevents improvement in time to avoid
651686 - calamity. As a result, a $3Trillion loss of capitalization in the
651687 - stock market is a powerful wake up call for people who feel insultated
651688 - from bad management and are otherwise unwilling to improve.
651690 - ..
651691 - For example, on 990912 the high cost of medical mistakes caused by
651692 - poor communication, ref SDS 90 0960, and fear of accountability that
651693 - impacts competence, foster a culture of denial. ref SDS 90 3416 see,

651699 - and calls, do not have time to think, to analyse. ref SDS 73 3431
651701 - ..
651702 - Culture of denial seems evident from response by S&C Ford refusing to
651703 - correct service defects, despite waiver of claims for refund, reported
651704 - on 000821. ref SDS 95 ID3L
651706 - ..
651707 - Denial is inherent from asking for evidence of pent up demand for SDS,
651708 - as a predicate to improving competence. see 000706, ref SDS 94 1886
651710 - ..
651711 - As long as earnings are up, and everyone has a lot of meetings to
651712 - attend, and calls to make, we can deny the need to improve competency,
651713 - for example, on 990527, ref SDS 88 1233, and on 001101 citing
651714 - overwhelming desire to use bad management because it is fast and easy.
651715 - ref SDS A3 4O5K Rather than improve, it seems easier to call for
651716 - downsizing, reported on 960405, email, seminars and new software to
651717 - collaborate, ref SDS 33 K3RD, which really requires no change in
651718 - current practice. But, when widespread recession occurs, it becomes
651719 - harder to deny that a change in direction is needed to improve bad
651720 - management.
651722 - ..
651723 - Reuters reported today that Intel expects 4th quarter revenue will be
651724 - lower than expected because of slowing demand for personal computers.
651725 - Intel said recent cancellations by customers worldwide will cause
651726 - revenue for the fourth quarter to be flat. ref OF 9 0001

651729 - This supplements the report on 000922 that Intel's 3rd quarter
651730 - earnings were lower than expected. ref SDS 97 0001 As a result,
651731 - Intel's stock price has declined to near record lows. On 001011 Ford
651732 - and Firestone suffered huge losses due to poor management and

651740 - On 951022 investors worried that Intel needed killer application to

651745 - On 970222 Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, reported that people and
651746 - enterprise need a more productive use for personal computers.
651747 - ref SDS 45 3967 On 000324 SRI reported that projects trying to create

651751 - On 970603 Intel wanted to increase demand of PCs. ref SDS 52 M2RY
651753 - ..
651754 - It was recommended that Intel use computers to make knowledge work
651755 - more productive, since this would have widespread appeal to individual
651756 - buyers and to enterprise seeking to improve earnings. ref SDS 52 2701,
651757 - based on Dave Vannier's interview with Byte magazine reviewed on
651758 - 910418. ref SDS 4 2744 Since Intel reported on 950927 they could not
651759 - figure out how to use computers to improve management, ref SDS 23
651760 - 7732, on 970603 Intel planned to maintain sales by making computers
651761 - useful for playing games. ref SDS 52 4486 Earlier on 961228 the
651762 - decision to support games, rather than usefulness, was pandemic.
651763 - ref SDS 26 3883 This aligned with Intel plans on 960507 to use
651764 - pictures instead of "intelligence" for handling daily working
651765 - information, ref SDS 36 1111, contrary to planning in 1991.
651767 - ..
651768 - Also, on 970603 Intel reported a need to improve management of daily
651769 - working information, ref SDS 52 5803, and considered a report by USACE
651770 - that Communication Metrics does this by adding "intelligence" to daily
651771 - management. ref DRP 1 6172
651773 - ..
651774 - On 980307 Intel's CEO warned new realities require adjustments to
651775 - traditional management methods, ref SDS 72 1209, and cautioned against
651776 - strategic dissonance that calls for diligence, yet fails to follow
651777 - through. ref SDS 71 5517
651779 - ..
651780 - On 990718 Intel reported that adding "intelligence" to daily working

651782 - for improving earnings. ref SDS 89 1767
