1109 -
110901 - Follow up ref SDS A3 0000, ref SDS A2 0000.
110902 -
110903 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Stuart Harrow in the Long Island New York
110904 - office of DCMA, responding to the letter on 011010 that suggests
110905 - trying "intelligence" for proactive solution to national security
110906 - problems, ref SDS A4 0001, reported on 010911. ref SDS 99 0001
110907 -
110908 - In our call on 011023 Stuart planned to follow up tomorrow on 011114
110909 - on progress inquiring about using SDS and Com Metrics for intelligence
110910 - support to save time and money on a project being managed by DOD in
110911 - Fort Wayne, Indiana.
110912 -
110913 -      [On 020118 CIA seeking intelligence support through In-Q-Tel.
110914 -      ref SDS A9 7O3M
110915 -
110916 -      [On 020125 respond to In-Q-Tel. ref SDS B0 0001
110917 -
110918 - This was to expand Stuart's contacts among colleagues to discuss
110919 - adding intelligence to daily management. ref SDS A5 KT6N
110920 - ..
110921 - Today, Stuart submits notice of a DOD procurement using a Broad
110922 - Agency Announcement (BAA), ref DRT 1 0002, reported previously on
110923 - 001025. ref SDS A6 0001  He suggests responding based on SDS.

110931 -
110932 - ....that seems to be a sort of "chat room" on this initiative.
110933 -
110934 - We likely need an ally, an alliance with someone for credibility in
110935 - the proposal, per telecon with NSF on 991222. ref SDS 66 0001
110936 - ..
110937 - A big challenge will be to enable reviewing authority to click
110938 - on a link that enables discovering that "intelligence" can be added to
110939 - management, in light of prior failure by NSF to make this discovery,
110940 - reported on 991213. ref SDS 65 1764  Analysis on 011025 does not show
110941 - any conditions or steps that can overcome resistance to intelligence.
110942 - ref SDS A6 0C6K
110943 -
110944 -     [On 020131 challenge of presenting new ideas to DOD was reviewed
110945 -     by Secretary of Defense, Don Rumsfeld. ref SDS B1 0001
110946 -
110947 - Stuart overcame the challenge because he was looking for KM support,
110948 - and so bumped into records accidentally that revealed intelligence, as
110949 - reported on 010608. ref SDS 83 RS4J
110950 -
110951 - Like others, who experience SDS records on the Internet, reported on
110952 - 010907, ref SDS 97 KX3L, Stuart saw SDS strengthens management.  Once
110953 - he tried, however, to discuss what he saw with colleagues, progress
110954 - stopped, because ignorance from lack of experience causes lack of
110955 - belief in intelligence that prevents his colleagues from clicking on a
110956 - link to make the same discovery.  This led Stuart to ask for "bridge"
110957 - concepts in hopes of talking people into believing that intelligence
110958 - is possible when they already disbelieve it, as reported on 010712. On
110959 - 010730 bridge concepts were submitted. ref SDS 96 LC5O  Some 23 bridge
110960 - concepts for intelligence were submitted, ref SDS 96 LH6M, but this
110961 - was not enough to help DCMA people who need intelligence for saving
110962 - and money from discovering the value SDS.
110963 -
110964 - Stuart reported on 010712 that a professional web site, and education
110965 - is needed to help people understand intelligence so they will click on
110966 - a link to discover it is possible. ref SDS 91 2O5I
110967 -
110968 - These have not helped.
110969 -
110970 - How, then, can we position people at DOD, who do not have time to
110971 - think because they are busy reviewing proposals, to click on a link,
110972 - when Stuart's colleagues at DOD do not have time to discover the power
110973 - of knowledge by clicking on a few links, reported on 011023?
110974 - ref SDS A5 0001
110975 -
110976 - The basic objection will remain that people prefer working harder
110977 - applying what they already know using IT, as reported on 010908,
110978 - ref SDS 98 YF5O, and shrink from the notion that "intelligence" saves
110979 - time and money, as reported on 890809. ref SDS 3 EB6K
110980 -
110981 -     [On 011205 NSF rep still having difficulty understanding value of
110982 -     intelligence, too busy to investigate. ref SDS A7 0001
110983 -
110984 -     [On 011212 responded to Stuart. ref SDS A8 0001
