040501 - Follow up ref SDS 86 0000.
040502 -
040503 - Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) require management practices
040504 - developed over hundreds of years using technology for "documentation."
040505 - ref SDS 0 XV7L  This model is no longer effective because complexity
040506 - in the 21st century overwhelms human span of attention. ref SDS 0 NS6F
040507 - Information overload makes good management seem like "overkill," which
040508 - leads people to ignore requirements for surveillance, because there is
040509 - not enough time to plan, prepare and analyze the work. ref SDS 0 AM5L
040510 - Bad management causes mistakes that require rework under the rationale
040511 - that there is not enough time to work "intelligently." Extra cost and
040512 - delay are then compounded into conflict, crisis and calamity.
040513 - ref SDS 0 NS6F  SDS and Com Metrics provide a solution by empowering
040514 - people to implement FAR requirements for saving time and moeny by
040515 - transformation from documentation to Knowledge Space. ref SDS 0 AV9K
040517 -  ..
040518 - SDS technology is a helpful innovation within the meaning of FAR part
040519 - 2.1, ref SDS 0 2N3I, that enables implementing FAR requirements to
040520 - plan, perform and report on daily work operations, so that good
040521 - management practices are used consistently.  SDS further enables a new
040522 - work practice of Communication Metrics that improves conventional risk
040523 - management based on "documentation" by providing a new model of
040524 - electronic Knowledge Space that provides instant access to chronology
040525 - of cause and effect based on context, commonly called an "audit
040526 - trail." ref SDS 0 AV9K  SDS innovations empower people to be more
040527 - effective by consistently working "intelligently." (see Risk
040528 - Management below. ref SDS 0 5C5I)
040530 -  ..
040531 - The business case (opportunity) for the government is to reduce costs
040532 - of acquisition by using the authority of contracts to leverage the
040533 - power of SDS technology for implementing good management required by
040534 - FAR, and by strengthening FAR to require new capabilities for a system
040535 - of Communication Metrics as proposed by USACE. (see again Risk
040536 - Management, below. ref SDS 0 HJ6J)
