331316 -      POIMS = plan, organize, integrate, measure.
331317 -
331318 -      "POIMS technology supports the "intelligence" process by making
331319 -      it fast and easy to accumulate chains of related information that
331320 -      preserve chronology so that cause and effect can be retrieved
331321 -      when needed for decision support. This greatly expands span of
331322 -      attention, and so reduces mistakes and the cost of rework. The
331323 -      technology assembles related information accurately, so that even
331324 -      a busy mind can align the work with requirements to avoid
331325 -      mistakes that otherwise cause extra expense, delay and hurt
331326 -      feelings. Cost savings are significant, because the technology
331327 -      applies the basic mental process of alignment to the full range
331328 -      of complex information managers encounter dealing with people,
331329 -      contracts, policies, laws, regulations, plans, budgets and so
331330 -      on."

331338 - Brint Developing DKR for Technology and KM
331339 -
331340 - Denham seems to be working from a KM "portal" discussion group, they
331341 - call a Zwiki, or Wiki, similar to Doug's KM project, except they do
331342 - not seem to be building tools.  Actually, brint.com seems to be

331401 -      The February, 2000 issue of Wired Magazine had an interesting
331402 -      article on Autonomy (pp172-179) describing how this super search
331403 -      engine uses neural networks and Bayesian statistics to extract
331404 -      the patterns from a wide variety of media.  Autonomy is
331405 -      independent of language but the usefulness depends on the
331406 -      quality of your training set.

331410 - Thus, Denham may have associated the explanation of POIMS with
331411 - the Wired Magazine article on Autonomy that seems to describe an AI
331412 - search engine along the lines Jack Park proposes for SDS in his letter
331413 - on 001130. ref SDS 78 MN3W  Earlier on 000623 Jack proposed turning an

471004 -         Knowledge is embodied in people gathered in communities and
471005 -         networks. The road to knowledge is via people and those
471006 -         connections (yellowpages, directories). Knowledge surfaces
471007 -         through dialog, all knowledge is socially mediated and access
471008 -         to knowledge is by connecting to people that know or know who
471009 -         to contact. In the knowledge economy, connections and
471010 -         relationships count more than personal knowhow and access to
471011 -         content. The environment changes so fast, the optimum
471012 -         knowledge strategy is instant access to people & their ideas
471013 -         and continuous awareness & learning in a supportive community.
471014 -         People and discourse communities provide the 'filter'
471015 -         mechanism for alerting and awareness. This helps to keep your
471016 -         focus, provides market intelligence and affords a platform for
471017 -         negotiating meaning and value. A key heuristic is to: annotate
471018 -         complex documents with contact people who can coach, situate
471019 -         and explain. This is a higher quality connection than
471020 -         hyperlinking to yet more content.
