161504 - Meeting today per letter from Jo last night, ref SDS C5 0001, and
161505 - request for her to print support information to help Curt prepare for
161506 - the meeting. ref DIP 12 0001
161508 -  ..
161509 - Arrived at SRI OA 1410, and called Pat's office to let him know I am
161510 - available to prepare for the meeting with Curt, per phone message
161511 - earlier this morning. ref SDS C6 0001  Did not hear from Pat, so
161512 - walked over to building A and met Jo McKenzie.  She said Pat may not
161513 - be able to meet with Curt and I at 1700 because he has a family
161514 - emergency today.
161516 -  ..
161517 - Doug's meeting on OHS/DKR began at 1545.  Pat arrived late, and
161518 - indicated plans to attend the meeting with Curt at 1700.
161519 -
161530 -  ..
161531 - About 1655, Pat suggested we leave Building E, and walk over to room
161532 - AA135 in Building A for the meeting with Curt.
161534 -  ..
161535 - Pat recommended focusing discussion today on large themes that advance
161536 - the nation and civilization, and within a framework that provides a
161537 - clear value proposition for SRI, as he indicated previously on 000725.
161538 - ref SDS 64 0897
161540 -  ..
161541 - Enhancing alphabet technology to augment human intelligence, which has
161542 - not been done in 2000 years, supports SRI's mission to advance the
161543 - nation and civilization. see POIMS, ref OF 1 1299, and the record on
161544 - 991108. ref SDS 42 4960
161546 -  ..
161547 - A value proposition is using SDS for Communication Metrics that
161548 - strengthens SRI management by delivering "intelligence" anytime,
161549 - anywhere via Internet, commonly called a paperless, or virtual office.
161550 - This saves time and money for SRI, and provides experience and
161551 - expertise using Knowledge Management that enables SRI to support
161552 - clients and customers, like NIH, who want to improve management, as
161553 - Pat noted in the meeting on 001017. ref SDS 76 014M
161555 -  ..
161556 - Pat worried that it is difficult to demonstrate time and cost savings
161557 - to people who do not have experience with SDS.
161559 -  ..
161560 - The value proposition SRI seeks is increasing revenue by selling SRI
161561 - services, rather than improving SRI's ability to provide effective and
161562 - efficient services.
161563 -
161565 -      ..
161566 -     One example is cost savings from reduced paper handling and more
161567 -     efficient administration, which is estimated in the record on
161568 -     990201. ref SDS 32 6925
161570 -      ..
161571 -     Follow up (also, coordination, collaboration and communication) is
161572 -     difficult because information overload overwhelms mainstream tools
161573 -     and practices.  Pat noted on 010111 that SDS solves this problem.
161574 -     ref SDS B9 OE8H  This record is evidence that SDS keeps track of a
161575 -     lot more than is possible by other means.  If getting things done
161576 -     accurately and on time adds value, then SDS offers a clear value
161577 -     proposition for SRI. see NWO. ref OF 3 6156
161578 -
161579 -        [On 010411 Jo McKensie related the challenge of follow up.
161580 -        ref SDS D3 I43O
161582 -      ..
161583 -     Listening and organizational memory are another advantage of using
161584 -     SDS, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 3773
161586 -      ..
161587 -     An example is the record for the OHS/DKR meeting on 001017 that
161588 -     shows "intelligence" on the Internet which guides daily work.
161589 -     ref SDS 76 1575  This was produced at no charge to SRI in order to
161590 -     demonstrate KM.  It includes over 100 pending action items, which
161591 -     expedite progress by providing context and direct access to
161592 -     information for performing the work, once authority and resources
161593 -     are applied to direct the project, as discussed with Doug
161594 -     Engelbart on 000327. ref SDS 51 5402  On 001017 Pat noted that SDS
161595 -     records provide a clear, and distinct difference people can see
161596 -     between conventional practice and Communication Metrics that
161597 -     supports KM. ref SDS 75 VY4J
161599 -      ..
161600 -     Another example, on 991207 Reuters reported earnings and stock
161601 -     prices are declining because too many people are having too many
161602 -     problems. ref SDS A3 V54M  The problems people are having is poor
161603 -     listening, coordination and collaboration due to information
161604 -     overload, which Pat cited on 010111 as a major problem at SRI.
161605 -     ref SDS B9 EF6M  Some people hope that if Allen Greenspan lowers
161606 -     the interest rate, this will solve the problems.  Since many of
161607 -     these problems stem from lack of understanding and follow up, as
161608 -     Pat noted on 010111, SDS helps solve these problems. ref SDS B9
161609 -     3X4I
161610 -
161611 -         [On 010430 another example of problems that reduce
161612 -         productivity. ref SDS D6 0001
161614 -      ..
161615 -     Another problem people have that causes mistakes, reduces earnings
161616 -     and stock prices is maintaining alignment between work performed
161617 -     and commitments and requirements, for example, emanating from
161618 -     phone calls, meetings, correspondences, contracts, regulations,
161619 -     and so on, because information overload makes....
161621 -              ..
161622 -             Communication the biggest risk in enterprise
161623 -
161624 -
161625 -     Lower interest rates will not answer the mail and align the work.
161626 -     SDS, however, helps solve this problem, as reported by the US Army
161627 -     Corps of Engineers who found that SDS saves time and money by
161628 -     improving management. ref DRP 6 0411
161629 -
161631 -  ..
161632 - Pat feels executives and engineers have difficulty grasping cost
161633 - savings from Knowledge Management, which Doug described in his 1972
161634 - paper, as "better handling of daily working information," reviewed on
161635 - 000327. ref SDS 51 3971  In our meeting on 000725, Pat pointed out
161636 - that people just don't get it, when it comes to KM. ref SDS 64 1995
161638 -  ..
161639 - Civilization is the cost study showing self-evident benefits of better
161640 - knowledge tools, reviewed on 991217. ref SDS 44 T93H
161641 -
161643 -  ..
161644 - US Army Corps of Engineers' reported cost savings using SDS for
161645 - Communication Metrics. ref DRP 7 0129  It found savings are 10 times
161646 - the cost of Communication Metrics support, based on an earlier report
161647 - that SDS adds "intelligence" to daily management. ref DRP 6 6172  This
161648 - suggests ROI for KM is on the order of 10:1.
161650 -  ..
161651 - Pat explained that senior people typically go by personal experience,
161652 - because they do not have time to understand evidence and reasoning in
161653 - reports.  Since nobody has experience with new new ideas, executives
161654 - have limited opportunity to gain experience for overcoming ignorance,
161655 - fear and denial to approve initiatives for saving time and money.
161656 -
161657 -     Intel is an example of Pat's concern.  On 960103 executives make
161658 -     decisions based on style and image because there is not enough
161659 -     time to understand content. ref SDS 16 8409
161661 -      ..
161662 -     Another example of Pat's worry is experience at USACE.
161664 -      ..
161665 -     On 970624 the Commander for the San Francisco District of the US
161666 -     Army Corps of Engineers said he did not believe cost savings
161667 -     reported by staff. ref SDS 20 2284
161668 -
161669 -        [On 010517 explained how inexperience causes ignorance, fear
161670 -        and denial. ref SDS D8 9B6J
161672 -         ..
161673 -        [On 010522 Pat related an example of executive decision making
161674 -        that makes progress on new ideas problematic. ref SDS D9 3T5K

161690 -     Command thereon substituted its judgement that was not informed by
161691 -     experience using SDS, for that of staff, who had direct experience
161692 -     with SDS. ref SDS 20 7388
161694 -          ..
161695 -         This may reflect sharp differences about the role of KM. see
161696 -         POIMS, ref OF 1 O87L, where long standing social and cultural
161697 -         tension between natural talent for speaking, typically relied
161698 -         upon for leadership, and tools that augment talent, beginning
161699 -         with alphabet technology, as emodied by the Legend of
161700 -         Prometheus, reviewed on 991108. ref SDS 42 5368
161702 -      ..
161703 -     On 980803 District managers wanted leadership from HQ to help
161704 -     local command gain experience to understand the benefits of adding
161705 -     "intelligence" to daily management. ref SDS 29 5141 and
161706 -     ref SDS 29 3887
161708 -      ..
161709 -     Failure of leadership resulted in resignations of two Assistant
161710 -     Chiefs, and one District Counsel.  Another result was overpayment
161711 -     of $20M in order to avoid the problem of understanding a complex
161712 -     record, which District staff believed SDS could handle, reported
161713 -     on 981027. ref SDS 31 9152
161715 -          ..
161716 -         Paying out $20M rather than $200K for Com Metrics support, is
161717 -         an example of loss that occurs, when too many people have too
161718 -         many problems, cited on 001207, ref SDS A3 V54M, using "feel
161719 -         good" management practices. see 911123. ref SDS 3 1331
161721 -      ..
161722 -     The best that can be done is to position leadership, so it can
161723 -     make a reasoned decision, which was done for the District
161724 -     Commander on 970624. ref SDS 20 0001
161726 -      ..
161727 -     The meeting today supports that effort.
