Nexist Java Code Available Evaluation Comment, Jack Park
New Way of Thinking Working Doug's Mission Bootstrap Institute, 99122

1806 -    ..
1807 - Summary/Objective
1808 -
180801 - Follow up ref SDS 17 0001 ref SDS 10 BP3K.
180802 -
180803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Jack asking about progress on deploying
180804 - Nexist to pilot test for supporting education at his son's school, as
180805 - planned in Jack's letter on 010904.
180806 -
180807 - Ask about....
180808 -
180809 -      1.  what Nexist will do that aids learning, as related in the
180810 -          record on 010904. ref SDS 17 WF3K
180811 -
180812 -      2.  getting some work product and observing Nexist being used at
180813 -          school. ref DIT 1 WV6G
180814 -
180815 -      3.  same question for Conklin's QuestMap and IBIS. ref DIT 1 AX6K
180816 -
180817 -  ..
180818 - Mention Jeff Conklin's recent letter which suggests a seminar is
180819 - needed to help people understand organizational memory. ref DIT 1 H97J
180820 - This could help with the problem reported recently that people are
180821 - exasperated again with slow progress on OHS/DKR, and having too much
180822 - information.
180823 -
180824 -  ..
180825 - OHS/DKR team has recognized in recent days that the plan on 001126 to
180826 - use greater diligence implementing IT has failed to discover the
180827 - secrets of KM. ref SDS 9 QW8I  Despite exasperation with this failure,
180828 - there remains overwhelming tendency, as Jack reported on 001101, for
180829 - sticking with bad management, rather than consider a culture of
180830 - knowledge. ref SDS 8 AS5G
180831 -
180832 - Cite Morris' point on 010924, ref SDS 19 XT5F, that wihtout experience
180833 - using organizational memory, there is zero comprehension of the
180834 - potential for a stronger solution using deliberative analysis.
180835 -
180836 - Seminar title would be....
180837 -
180838 -
180839 -                  Preparing for Peace and Prosperity

611502 - Pinning People Down Strengthens Listening
611503 - Little Intelligence Goes a Long Way to Improve Listening
611504 -
611505 - Follow up ref SDS 16 R04L.
611506 -
611507 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0001 to OHS/DKR team citing Jack Park's letter on
611508 - 010828 arguing that people don't like to be pinned down.
611509 -
611510 - Supplements earlier letter on this sent on 010828 at the time Jack's
611511 - letter was received. ref SDS 16 R04L
611512 -
611513 - Frustration, worry and anger people experience trying to avoid being
611514 - pinned down has been a major source of resistance to intelligence, but
611515 - overlooks the corollary desire for people to listen cited, for example
611516 - on 890809. ref SDS 2 CJ9J
611517 -
611518 -  ..
611519 - Recent concerns, however, on 010916 reporting information technology
611520 - (IT) makes it impossible to find anything, ref SDS 18 KA6H, and on
611521 - 011003 folks feel overwhelmed by events and the flood of daily working
611522 - information, ref SDS 20 EC5N, suggest further review may be justified.
611523 - Recall that Doug Engelbart set the goal for solving this problem in an
611524 - article published in 1972, and reviewed on 000327, calling for better
611525 - handling of daily working information, ref SDS 5 3971, which Eric
611526 - Armstrong summarized as "augmenting intelligence," in a letter on
611527 - 000423. ref SDS 6 5096
611528 -
611529 -  ..
611530 - Does anyone know how to accomplish this requirement without pinning
611531 - somebody down at least once a while? ref DIT 2 SS8I
611532 -
611533 -  ..
611534 - This question opens an important proposition...
611535 -
611536 -                  little intelligence goes a long way
611537 -                      toward improving the work
611538 -
611539 - ....ref DIT 2 DS8L
611540 -
611541 -     [On 011006 Gary Johnson worried KM cannot help big organizations,
611542 -     but experience shows a little intelligence goes a long way.
611543 -     ref SDS 21 EL5F
611544 -
611545 -  ..
611546 - If Henry van Eykan is correct reporting on 000307 that people remember
611547 - only 5% - 10%, ref SDS 4 1122, and later on 000927 reporting research
611548 - that shows people remember only the gist of things, ref SDS 7 PO4F,
611549 - this presents a huge opportunity for improvement. ref DIT 2 6F9G
611550 - Earlier we learned on 000319 that human memory is a key factor in
611551 - human reasoning. ref SDS 3 0005
611552 -
611553 -  ..
611554 - What does this mean in relation to OHS/DKR objectives and the worry
611555 - about people being pinned down cited in your letter?
611556 -
611557 -
611558 -  ..
611559 - Fear Not Enough Time for Intelligence Balanced SDS Fast Easy Fun
611560 - Balance Worry about Information Overload with Work on Intelligence
611561 - Overkill Confidentiality Balanced Little Intelligence Goes a Long Way
611562 -
611563 - Intelligence avoids a lot of bad things from happening and enables
611564 - more good things to get done, without pinning everybody down on
611565 - everything all of the time, as previously set out reviewing Jack
611566 - Park's letter on 010828. ref SDS 16 0001
611567 -
611568 -  ..
611569 - Doing the math, improving memory from 5% to 10% doubles performance,
611570 - yet leaves lots of room (90%) for people to have private communication
611571 - that is not managed through organizational memory.  This is just one
611572 - deployment issue that requires consideration along with efforts to
611573 - develop technology. ref DIT 2 WZ5J
611574 -       ..
611575 -       This addresses Ross' concern on 890809 that SDS is
611576 -       overkill becaue people have to write everything down.
611577 -       ref SDS 1 3S6H  We don't have to do that; just doing a little
611578 -       more than we are doing now improves productivity, earnings and
611579 -       stock prices.
611580 -
611581 -  ..
611582 - In sum, complaints about too much information on 010916, ref SDS 18
611583 - KA6H, and more recently on 011003, ref SDS 20 EC5N, should be balanced
611584 - with discussion of ways to augment intelligence for converting
611585 - information into knowledge, since increasing shared meaning just a
611586 - little, improves productivity, ref DIT 2 GV6F, as reported by USACE
611587 - in their reports on.....

611590 -      Intelligence saves money, ROI 10:1...971007, ref DRP 6 0001
611591 -
611592 -
611593 - Fear about accountability that avoids being pinned down, must be
611594 - balanced with binary forces -- fear of consequences when intelligence
611595 - fails because people don't listen. ref DIT 2 SV6L
611596 - ..
611597 - Fear about confidentiality should be balanced with understanding
611598 - that every communication need not be examined with a microscope in
611599 - order for all communication to be strengthened, ref DIT 2 FX3G,
611600 - because a little intelligence goes a long way.
611601 - ..
611602 - Fear that creating timely intelligence is too difficult, should
611603 - be balanced with the fact that it is fast, easy and fun to do this
611604 - work, once you know how, just like driving a car, writing a letter, or
611605 - hitting a tennis ball. ref DIT 2 FX3G
611606 -
611607 - Need balance between despair and opportunity for progress on important
611608 - issues. ref DIT 2 EY3L
