1110 - Summary/Objective
1111 -
111101 - Follow up ref SDS 22 0000, ref SDS 20 0000.
111102 -
111103 - Recent report on 010727 that JDS is writing off $50B of assets to
111104 - reflect actual market value of mergers and acquistions, ref SDS 23
111105 - 0001, lends support to Andy Grove's ideas in his book "Only the
111106 - Paranoid Survive" reviewed on 980307, that CEO's should focus more on
111107 - improving productivity. ref SDS 7 HO5K
111108 -
111109 - Morris pointed out that acquisitions and mergers add tangible assets,
111110 - which improve near term finanacials.  He said improving management is
111111 - harder, and takes longer to improve earnings.
111112 -
111113 -     This aligns with frustrations Morris cited on 010721 where Intel
111114 -     sends top executives to management training class, but in a few
111115 -     months, everybody is back to doing things in comfortable ways, and
111116 -     people will not use Microsoft to track action items, which Morris
111117 -     feels works even better than SDS. ref SDS 22 0001
111118 -
111119 -     This means that if the people who use tangible assets like
111120 -     buildings and equipment fail to work productively, and in fact
111121 -     refuse to use intelligence, than continual bumbling that causes
111122 -     too many people to have too many problems, then even so called
111123 -     tangible assets become draining liabilities, as people scramble to
111124 -     generate revenue needed for maintenance and taxes.  One of the
111125 -     first signs that an organization is failing, is when maintenance
111126 -     is cut to save money, and work environment slowly deterioriates.
111127 -
111128 -     Thus, near term financials is not a good measure of a successful
111129 -     merger.  The only measure is whether the assets of people, plant
111130 -     and equipment can be deployed productively, and this requires
111131 -     effective management.
111132 -
111133 - Seminars and computers are two methods executives have tried for
111134 - improving the quality of management.  TQM is an effort to improve the
111135 - quality of management, which doesn't work very well for the reasons in
111136 - the SDS Typical Day Scenario, ref OF 2 077Y, which Morris reviewed on
111137 - 010425. ref SDS 16 EP7F
111138 -
111139 - Morris explained that a lot of technology has been applied to develop
111140 - performance data, like cost control.  He did not explain how this
111141 - helps the people who use performance data reports, per record on
111142 - 010510 where Steve Balmer explains Microsoft executives figure out
111143 - what to do by attening brainstorming meetings. ref SDS 18 0001  Steve
111144 - did not mention discussing performance data reports, nor how executive
111145 - committee decisions aligned with performance data, because decisions
111146 - cover a wide range of factors that are not captured in performance
111147 - data reports, as discussed on 950223. ref SDS 4 3164
111148 -
111149 - Most problems are caused by communication in meetings, calls and email
111150 - that is not aligned with objectives, requirements and commitments long
111151 - before performance data is collected, because communication is a
111152 - metric of future performance, as set out in NWO. ref OF 3 MY6H and
111153 - ref OF 3 29G5  If Communication Metrics are ignored, after the fact
111154 - metrics of performance become fodder for using highly developed
111155 - communication skills that rely on deniability to cover up.
